Beer Advent Calendar 2015 - December 6th

I read a review of this beer before I bought it, and the word that stuck out was "gusher" - I know what they meant now.  After popping the cap it spewed out a dark brown frothy foam for a good while, before I gave up waiting and started pouring it.  Not that pouring helped - it crept all the way to the top of the glass, and then kept on creeping.

Barrel aged in six different casks - bourbon, brandy, cherry wine, cognac tequila and whisky.  Is there any need?

Yes, as it turns out.  Because it's nice!

This is one of the smoothest high ABV (8%) stouts I've ever had.  Great balance of sweetness and bitterness.  Though it's not remarkable in any other way, aside from the gushing and the terrific flavour.

Anyway, I can't write any more - it's given me the munchies.
