Espresso black with mocha toppings. Unctuous pointillism of zygote fossilization. Carbon paper, licorice, treacle, Turkish coffee, toffee, and a sapling-meets-whiskey, cinnamon, gingerbread, dried fig, and sarsaparilla scented number. (My wife thinks this tastes of cough syrup, but it is just whiskey centric) big, charred whiskey entry with dark caramel and Christmas pudding, that turns to burnt fructose. Awesome depth and breadth! .

It’s been three years since my last review of this little slice of double trouble. Loose and thorny crown of creamy white with cartoon bone lacing plus bubble font. Golden overall, but reddish tinges turn it pink. Banana bread, with honey butter, a bit of molasses and orange marmalade scented, but the breakfast stops there. Healthy dollops of of honey buoy herbs de Provence, golden apple, juniper sharpness, lemon-arabica, pecan, and extra lavender. .

Colored like light café Americano. Magician trick of big bubbles that coalesce into tiny ones in a beige-brown start, then flattens to nothing. Lacing-less. Baked cinnamon apple and poached Bosc pear in syrup wafts seductively into skull holes. Gingerbread and nutmeg mingle with cooking brown sugar and sweet potato with browned marshmallow tickling the senses. Spice blast of cinnamon and nutmeg while citrus and sliced ginger heat wrap serpentine around the baked apple which is brimming with burnt sugar. The clove is the defining shadow, but soaked in a Spanish brandy, and stored in a leather mojo bag. #shlaflybrewing #thesaintlouisbrewery #MObeer #SaintLouis #schlaflyimperialpumpkinale
