Watching the college playoff game between Penn State and Notre Dame. Go Penn State!! This Duclaw series is hit and miss. Hope this is a good one. Small head that disappears quickly. Aroma is sweet chocolate. Texture is only medium heavy, that's light for an Imperial Stout. Both soft and smooth. Dark milk chocolate with a liqueur cherry blended in. Alcohol gives it a modest burn. Not much change going into the finish except maybe add a little cocoa dryness to it. If the cherry flavor had been a little stronger it would have been much like a chocolate covered cherry in those Christmas time boxes. Nothing very special about this but I am glad that there's no artificial flavoring that is easily apparent.

Happy Friday. This has a dark roasted malt with medium+ peppermint, very light vanilla and cocoa. On the thin side. Overall it surprised me on how well it tasted. A leftover from last night. Never had a chance to drink it.

Monta vuotta tämä on ollut listalla, kun tätä on näkynyt jenkkien postauksissa. Nyt Nykin reissusta lopulta löytyi yksi kappale kotiintuomisiksi. Musta, aavistuksen tummaan ruskeaan taittava väri. Tummaa suklaata sekä maapähkinävoita tuoksussa. Kuivan katkera ja porttermainen kärki. Runko kuivan paahteinen ja hapokkaan pirskahteleva. Lopusta maapähkinävoisen mausteinen ja jälkimaultaan kuivan suklainen.

Could be a good beer. This one has an fake taste, like an extract flavoring. Probably the peanut butter, which is barely there.

Meeting at Rockn Roll Sushi with my son and family getting ready for the Christmas parade. They actually have a few good beers here. I've had this before but I'm trying it again. Super high and very frothy head, it's really lasting. Sweet malt aroma, I blend of chocolate that reminds me of European chocolate. Smooth texture but not as heavy as I expected. Milk chocolate with the addition of a complimentary hazelnut in the background makes for a very nice combination. I like it better than I did last time.

At my son's house watching the Alabama football 🏈 game. Roll Tide 🐘!!! These Pastry Archy beers are inconsistent, some good, some not. Nice chocolate head. Has gold flakes on the bottom of the glass. Aroma of dark chocolate and thick malt. Medium heavy texture with a crisp semisweet dry mouthfeel. Flavor follows with a dry bittersweet dark chocolate. No artificial flavoring. Smooth dark chocolate has a quality character and needs no flavors to accompany it. Not fancy, not complex. Sometimes simple is all you need.

Very smooth & yummy stout

Having this Duclaw beer with pizza. Strange to call it simply Regular Beer. Anyway, it's a solid hazy yellow, has a bit of a tart aroma. Snow white head but now it's gone. Solid texture but still stays crisp. It's a light lager, notes of ripe lemon and clover honey. Finally, in the finish, I get a small amount of tartness that was in the aroma. Is this a great beer, no. Not sure it was made to be. It is tasty and very drinkable and goes well with my pizza. I will gladly I have another of this very enjoyable brew.
