LEFT HAND FADE TO BLACK EXPORT STOUT (2009)

Terrific non-traditional mocha-spiced full body with nebulous foreign/export stout labeling offers illusionary plentitude. Molasses-soaked anise, cherry puree and black cardamom lead the charge as nutty chocolate backend gains luster. Cappuccino-frothed espresso-dried coffee bittering enhances subsidiary wood-charred cola, macadamia, and hazelnut coarsening. Tertiary cocoa-buttered licorice, sarsaparilla, and chicory nuances eventually seep into the mix.

BAR HARBOR CADILLAC MTN. STOUT

Resplendent velvety smooth dry stout with roasted chocolate sweetening, syrupy Scotch salience, and chewy molasses density allows creme caramel, vanilla, marshmallow, and cocoa nuances to dot cookie dough midst. Recessive coffee-espresso and parched fig-prune-raisin souring neatly counter chocolate-y motif as roasted nuttiness, mossy earthiness, and pumpernickel tinge hang at the fringe.
