Strong IPA body and finish amd assertive cereal taste.

Delicious! Roasted, caramel, vanilla flavors with some hints of coconut.

Just as nice, outside on a sunny day. Definitely dessert-sweet, but balanced somewhat by a bit of yeast tartness. Over the course of a whole glass this is slightly less enjoyable than the taster from the other day, but it's still excellent.

A lot of the same flavors presented by the Abraxas, but richer on both ends. Lots of caramelized sugar in the aroma and flavor, and the stout runs toward bolder flavors as well. Never veers off balance, though, and it finished clean, not like what I noted in the regular Velvet Glove. I don't know if this is an always-OMG! but I did enjoy it more than the Abraxas.

Smooth at first, with a frothy chocolate finish, but there is a kind of overroasted flavor that builds up in both bitterness and tackiness over time.
