Town Hall Double Barreled Xtra Milk Stout

Town Hall Double Barreled Xtra Milk Stout. 9.8 % ABV.
Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery, Minneapolis, MN

Alas, the last of the Barrel-aged Week growlers from Town Hall. This one barely made it to two months in the fridge. Can't wait to crack it open.

Thoroughly black, ultimately opaque, slim brownish head, soon disappearing.

In the nose: dense, rich, chocolatey. Whiskey comes in, oak, vanilla, cocoa, coffee.

In the mouth: More rich, more dense, thick and viscous. Immense malt. Sweetness, with a touch of bitter. Whiskey comes barreling in, mixing up with the cocoa and cream. Great balance between sweet milk stout and the barrel-aging effects. Big powerful beer in all respects. Whiskey flavors grow and grow, as does the alcohol warmth.

A tasty beverage that's getting better and better the further in we go.
