This was a cask strength 121.6 proof store pick. The nose was overwhelmingly cacao or baking chocolate and the palate is malty funk and dark chocolate fighting over the room in your mouth not occupied by baking spices. There's almost a hint of spicy peppers like those found in spicy Mexican chocolate stouts. It seems most of these notes can be attributed to the stout barrel, as woody bitterness and chocolate overtones dominate the finish.
