Flashlight shows a deep mahogany color with minimal head retention, smells of chocolate, coffee, and smoke. The taste is rich and decadent with flavors of chocolate syrup, caramel, maple syrup, dark roast coffee, and smoked malts on a smooth and creamy full body. The finish is long and moderately bitter, featuring notes of smoke, coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate covered cherries, and herbal hops. Overall, this is an excellent stout, perfectly balanced between sweet chocolate, bitter coffee, and smoke flavors, perfect for this time of year.
