Color is amber. Nose starts with a creamy sweetness. Beneath that, notes of apple and faint vanilla present. First sip is mildly oaky, less sweet than the nose, followed by a definite flash of stout beer. Following sips reveal chocolate notes, as well as very mild nutty flavor. Mouthfeel is just a little thin but not unpleasantly so. Finish is just a little astringent, with the stout flavor coming back for a short linger with the chocolate notes. Overall, probably not an everyday sipper, but not bad at all, especially for a more unique chocolate/stout profile change-up at a lower price.
