Virginia Distillery Co. The Brewer's Coalition 4 Hands Brewing Co. Madagascar Stout Cask Finished, 50%

The malty, chocolate-driven nose points to the cask finish in play here—that of Madagascar stout barrels from St. Louis, Missouri’s 4 Hands Brewing Co. Marshmallow fluff, cocoa powder, and a bright pop of raspberry coulis create an incredibly alluring nose; these aromas transfer deftly to the palate, where there’s also some orange peel, candied ginger, and Black Forest cake. The finish ties everything up with a neat little bow, combining ground coffee, berry fruit, and chocolate.
