UPDATED: MAY 12, 2019 Tasting as part of RateBeer 100 for 100 Good Beer Week 2019 event... loved it! Wow! A great beer.

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2019 Really delicious chocolate/ coffee beer! It tastes like dessert. Strong body and dark brown colour.

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2018 Pours like decoction (coffee concentrate) in India! Crazy strong chocolate and bitter espresso taste that leaves a warm burn. Tastes of whiskey for sure and a malt after taste but also soy. Alcohol content leaves it's mark in your belly! I could almost freeze this and pour over vanilla ice cream. Wow! So good!!!

Bottle @ Sour Sunday 2017, Berkeley, CA. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty woody licorice aroma with weak smoky whisky hints. Roasted malty woody weak smoky whisky licorice and chocolate flavor. Has a roasted malty woody whisky licorice finish with weak hints of smoke.

Bottle. Fucking awesome. Unfortunately, Superspak has not had this unbelievably delicious beer. So, you can’t follow his adventures vicariously through me.

I’m not usually a huge fan of more peated stouts. This one is an exception. And it’s exceptional. Smoke, roast, chocolate.

Pours black with beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee and smoke. Flavor is roasted, dark chocolate, coffee, peat, smoke, light to medium bitter and heavy sweet.

Bottle, glad I’m finally getting a shot at this. Here goes. Pour is utterly black and thick, no head, but if there was it would be the color of espresso crema. Aroma is molasses, plums, vanilla, cookies, coffee, chocolate, fresh bread, anise. Taste is molasses, brown sugar vanilla whipped cream, coffee, cocoa, plums, cookies, dark Cherie lifesavers, faint spice and oak, finish is almost dry. This runs just almost sweet, but walks that line like a Wallenda. The palate is rich, thick,Iight, fluffy, way subdued carbonation, almost cask like. This is superb. Epic. If this were dryer, and had any head, it would get a 5.

Bottle sampled at THE FESTIVAL 2014 in LA with Linh and Scarlett. Pours a deep blackish brown body with thin brown lacing. Aroma is chocolate, bourbon, oak, wood and rich vanilla. Mouthfeel is rich and decadent with notes of vanilla bean, sweet chocolate, bourbon, oak and a light tart/sour character.

Bottle @ The Festival 2014. Thick black pour with a small tam head. Nose is super bourbony. A lot of vanilla and dark chocolate. Some brown sugar, a touch of booze, and charred wood. Plenty of roast as well. The flavor is a bit too hot, however the bourbon flavor works well enough. Tons of vanilla, chocolate milk, coffee, and brown sugar. Fairly sweet, but it does have some roasted malt and charred wood bitterness.
