Subtly sweet Scottish stout matured in Irish whiskey barrels retains smooth brown chocolate creaminess crosscut by mild Bushmill Irish coffee surety and faded pine-sapped bittering. Serene maple molasses sugaring contrasts ashen peat-smoked whiskey nip, soft dark-roasted espresso snip and sedate vanilla blip prompting ancillary almond, rum raisin, coconut and wet tobacco nuances. Perfect as crossover for lighter ale drinkers.
