This beer needs at least 4 months but is best after 6 months.

Hot chocolate mixed with dark roast Sumatran coffee, which fades into notes of cherry and raisin. As fruitiness fades, biscuit character starts to peek through but quickly transitions to the sweetness of the lactose. Finish is an oakiness with light smoke character. Smoke comes through in the aroma and finish only. If you want to increase the smoke character, bump the smoked malt up to at least 20% and add heavy charred hungarian oak cubes at 4 months. This beer does well on nitro, but smoke character is muted when on nitro.
