DNotS
has a sweet, confectionery nose with big cocoa and vanilla notes,
complimented with ardent booze heat. The beer has a smooth and thick
mouthfeel. The front end of the flavour is rich, malt-driven, and
toothsome, driven by two-thirds of the palate of Neapolitan iced cream.
The finish turns gloomily bitter, though the sweetness only lets up a
bit.
A jumbo booze ball, sure, but DNotS
is ale also a complicated brew. If you like stouts with a dessert-y vibe
that aren’t gimmicky pastry oriented, this is a grand option.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
