Pours an opaque black with a big tan head that recedes slowly to a hefty collar and leaves very good lacing.
Sweet aroma with dark chocolate, brown sugar and lactose. There is also a hefty amount of roasted dark malts and the overall complexity of this is pretty impressive in the nose.
The taste follows the aroma and has a solid roasted malt backbone with the chocolate and molasses sweetness layered on top. The finish is slightly dry with some espresso notes lingering for a while.
The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied for the style with soft carbonation and it all makes for an exceptionally smooth feel.
This is an exceptional stout - very complex but imminently drinkable. Color me impressed with yet another Pelican brew. BMan1113VR (2939), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
