Aroma is marshmallow, chocolate, cocoa, and a hint of roasted malt. Flavor is ta,e sweet peaty chocoloate powder and bitter roasted malt. Nice mouthfeel but it fails to leave a lasting impression.

Somewhat smoked aromas and flavors detected through the roasted malt. Good stout, although I preferred the aroma to the flavor.
