Bottle, 22oz, at TFODRBSG 2012. 2010 vintage it seems, but the wax was more copper than gold, so maybe 2012? A black one, more or less, clear looking and topped by a dense, beige head. Dark chocolate, roasted malts, some coffee and a touch of vanilla. A little bit of vanilla on the palate, with roasted malts, something boozy, dark chocolate and a little bit of coffee. Full body, soft on the palate. Lasting chocolatey finish. I guess Mr Churchill could’ve had some fine hours with this one. 120818

Bottle shared by brew3crew. Poured a black color with an average frothy brown head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy toasted, cherry, vanilla, licorice and woddy bourbon alcohol aroma. Medium to heavy toasted malt and cherry flavor with a heavy dark fruit sweet and alcohol bite finish of moderate to long duration. Full body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. This is a standout complex beer.

Bottle… This beer rocks!… Pitch black ale with a mid-sized, creamy, beige head that never quite goes away. The nose is a gorgeous swirl of nutty raw oak, bourbon and chocolate with undertones of port, tobacco and maple syrup. Full-bodied and velvety with lively carbonation. Flavor-wise, it’s chocolaty and full of carbonaceous charred oak and tobacco with light acidity. Finishes acrid, burnt and moderately bitter. World class bottle of beer courtesy of giarcsr!
