22 oz. Bottle
Been busting out something new every Sunday to split with my brother for Game of Thrones. Unfortunately, it's not on tonight. But why break the beer tradition?
Big Bad Baptist pours black with some mocha head lacing around the edge of the glass. Smells strongly of vanilla, chocolate, and coffee. Really nice nose, pleasant and sweet. Tastes very similar to the smell - chocolate and coffee with smooth vanilla and roasted malt underneath. The whiskey barrel aging is a little more subtle than I would have liked, but it is there in the background. The real stars are the coffee and the chocolate, and it does these all very well. Fairly low carbonation suits this beer well, as does the thickness of the beer - I like when stouts have a thickness to them, especially when they're barrel aged. And the alcohol is incredibly well hidden for 11.8% ABV.
Overall a really tasty chocolate coffee bomb. A really enjoyable sipper. I do wish the whiskey barrel aging was a little more prevalent, but hey, it's still a great, well balanced stout regardless.
Overall Rating: 4.75/5
