UPDATED: APR 9, 2023 Very good stuff, enjoyed on tap at Cigar City. Lots of coffee, vanilla, and chocolate. Nice burn in the back end.

750ml bottle. Pours a pitch black in color and topped by a small, creamy tan colored layer of foam that shows good retention before settling to a thin film and leaving streaks of lace around the glass. The aroma is really nice showing huge notes of rich dark chocolate, fudge, and earthy, roasted coffee giving a nice mocha note followed by hints of vanilla laden oak and sweet rum that are all in harmony. The flavor follows suit with notes of rich dark chocolate, mocha, fudge, and burnt vanilla while the roasted coffee adds ample balancing bitterness followed by notes of sweet rum soaked oak. All the flavors work together perfectly. Full bodied and smooth with soft carbonation that leads to a dark chocolate, vanilla, and smoothly roasted coffee finish with lingering rum soaked oak long after each sip. This took a great base beer to whole other level. Amazing stuff and one of the best beers that CCB has ever done.

Bottle. Pours opaque black with a thick brown heaf. Aroma is rum, fudge, vanilla. Taste is cocoa bitter, cocoa sweet, vanilla sweet, fudge sweet, rum sweet, slight molasses, a hint of oak presence. Thick bodied, with a thick mouthfeel.
