Aroma - strawberry candy, flat cherry cola… notes of a children’s fruity tooth paste… honestly this is really bizarre and quite off putting aroma to be honest. I’m getting almost no stout notes and all fruit. Hopefully the palate is better than the aroma. Taste - The stout profile is noticeable on the finish. Lots of chocolate on the finish which I enjoy… but its the front and mid palate that ruin this one.. Once again, lots of fruity rye notes. Man I am not a fan of this whatsoever. If NyQuil was made with rye and chocolate…then water added to thin it out… this is what you would get.
