Blackish chocolate brown complete with a thick brown skiff. Aroma is good, I mean real good, I mean yum yum. Sweet plum, subtle coffee, ginger, cinnamon, crap I’ve been smelling that in almost every beer I drink lately!!! Why!!! Why do I have cinnamon on the brain? Aroma rounds out with some mild alcohol. The barrel aging is in the brew but not at the front of the flavor, strange flavor of cherry Vick’s not sure how I’m tasting that one. Nice strong thick malty roast chocolate yumness. Corn flakes not in a bad way. Now more whisky is showing up. Kind of grapefruit citrus but no really maybe pine but not pine. So much thick flavor. My head is starting to spin a little. Oaky coffee with sweet plum on the last sip. Good beer, by far the best I’ve had from Half Pints.

Wow, never heard of half pints, and beerchronic sends me this. Holy Balls! Its like a smaller version of the Nonge O Impy Stout, but local. Smoke, jaggery for sure (indian girlfirend so I have it all the time), chat (indian fruit spice), mollassses, thick gooey mollasses, just like when curella deville from 101 dalmations falls into it. Butter, popcorn, burnt grain, brown sugar, roasted beets, carmellised onions, burnt sugar, carmel, you get the point. The mouth is a bit thinner than the flavours might suggest, it drops down quick. Bout 40-45 IBUs just a bit more bitter than middle. Really fantastic!
