Sawdust City Ah Stout: Chocolate Caramel Cupcake Stout

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a big creamy light mocha-coloured head, very long retention with full web-creamy-foamy lacing. Big sweet nose with chocolate, caramel and a roasted malt base. The taste is not as sweet, with cacao instead of milk chocolate and the caramel heading back. The burnt malts as base give a touch of dark fruit. Hints of vanilla lingers, softening the finish. The mouthfeel is not too thick with enough dryness in the end. The aromas calm down, and the cocoa powder comes out, almost giving a coffee touch. Not a bad, dessert Stout that goes down easier than expected.
