Right on the nose, it's Intense, looking for a fight. Irish, through and through. Agave nectar, rich coconut, vanilla bean. Surprisingly mellow palate, disorienting. Cantaloupe, cereal and a touch of oak. Then the finish, there's the punch! Rush of spice, moderate burn and satisfying malt. Would not have guessed Stout had anything to do with this unusual creature! Dry glass: beeswax and soda bread.
