Batch 146 Stout tasting notes

Cellar temp

Pours black with minimal fine tan head that hugs edge to the bottom

Aroma cocoa/coffee, subtle woody fruit, some alcohol tang

Mouthfeel pretty robust tooth, yet sweet and clean, not astringent or cloying

Flavor coffee, chocolate, stone fruit with malt sweetness, slight burn met with bitterness

Finish coats well, even balance, sweet, slight astringency after a few breaths

Overall oak is about the right amount here, outstanding example of imperial stout, can't think of anything to improve, except maybe bump the carb a little.  Impossibly drinkable.
