UPDATED: MAY 10, 2024 Bottle@plovmand. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, cacao and vanilla. Heavy sweet and bitter with lingering roasted bitterness. Full and creamy. Good

UPDATED: APR 21, 2024 Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers! Pours black-brown with a creamy, tan head. Medium to big sweet flavour with notes of stewed dark fruits, gooey chocolate, raisins, light roast. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sticky and warming to finish, more chocolate, berries, raisins, cake, a little earthy bitterness. Tasty stuff.

Craft Beer Junction bottle share. Thanks to Wingman for the bottle. Oily looking opaque dark brown black beer, small tan head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Rich smooth dark malts, rich cakey dark chocolate. Ice Cream van chocolate syrup. Chocolate liqueur. Tangy chocolate finish. Rich but quite one note, as good as that note is.

UPDATED: MAR 30, 2024 Aspetto. Corpo nero con testa nocciola dalla grana irregolare e grossa. Olfatto. Profumo delicatamente dolce, sorprende la pulizia ed eleganza con cui si presenta al mio naso. Note di caramello, biscotto brownie al cioccolato, marshmallow, sfumature tostate di orzo e caffè, leggere carezze di vaniglia e cocco, bourbon. Gusto. Un onda dolce accarezza il palato, nel mezzo esili tostature, finale leggermente amaricato e con una sottile carbonazione prima delle caratteristiche note oak di bourbon. Nel retrogusto torna tutta la dolcezza iniziale a chiudere il cerchio di questa bevuta dessert dove le sensazioni olfattive vengono rispettate in toto. Corpo. Media-alta viscosità, rotondezza e morbidezza. Abv ben celato. Gli elementi aggiunti, caffè, cacao, marshmallow lavorano in armonia e non calcano troppo la mano, va detto che la bottiglia che sto bevendo ha 2 anni alle spalle. Molto elegante anche il lavoro delle botti.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2024 Tap @MBCC2023, Yellow Session. Oily black, brown head. Dark malty aroma, coffee, nuts. Sweet flavour, alc bitterness, dark choc, coffee.

UPDATED: MAR 21, 2024 Bottle at home. Pours black, nose is chocolate, caramel, vanilla, coconut, coffee, nutty, taste is dark chocolate, roasted coffee, creamy vanilla, coconut, marshmallow.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2024 500 ml bottle. 2022 vintage, 12%. Aroma is a wonderful mix of bourbon, rich chocolate, earthy coffee. Bourbon profile reminds me of Heaven Hill. Rich chocolate, cake batter with some mild earthy coffee in the finish. Marshmallow is here but low. Rich mouthfeel with a velvet like texture.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2024 Bottle (2022) shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Opaque, inky black with nice viscosity. Aroma is strong rich roasted malt, bourbon, coffee, chocolate, marshmallow in great balance. Taste is strong roasted malt, bourbon, chocolate and late marshmallow; lesser coffee. Smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste; faintest alcohol warmth. Taste doesn't quite live up to aroma but this is still awfully good and adjuncts holding up pretty well after this long.

UPDATED: JAN 15, 2024 Black body, with a small, tan head. Aroma of bourbon, coffee, liquorice, tobacco, soy sauce. Tastes similar, with dark fruits. Full mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes warm, medium sweet, medium roasty, with bourbon, soy sauce, dark chocolate, liquorice. Surprisingly robust and not as sweet as expected. Well integrated bourbon and coffee notes. Nice sipper. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

UPDATED: AUG 19, 2023 50cl bottle I bought to go from Shelter DC pours a translucent cola brown with some brown head that faded. Legs didn't fade though. Nose is big but pulls you right in, cookies, Bourbon, caramel, toffee, coffee, some dried cherry. Flavor is cocoa and coffee and booze, the barrel gets a touch messy here (Ala Bruery) but the malt backbone stands firm. What smelled like cookies on the nose is more dates or figgy pudding here. Full bodied, off dry, sticky and boozy.
