Bottle… This beer rocks!… Pours dark brown with a small, creamy, khaki head. The incredible, complex bouquet is a decadent marriage of big-time cinnamon and chocolate, espresso, vanilla, oak, pouch tobacco and subdued bourbon. Full-bodied with a lightly oily mouthfeel and restrained carbonation. The flavor is first and foremost tangy, but also offers very nice essences of espresso, unsweetened dark chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla. Mildly tart, mocha, lightly bitter finish. So much going on here, it’s almost overwhelming. I couldn’t drink a lot of this, but I can’t drink a lot of Cognac or 30-year-old single malt Scotch either. Drinkability does not always equal greatness. This is great. Thanks to sebletitje for sharing this world class brew!

pours a very dense ruby to opaque brown color with a small pour brown head. aroma has cinnamon coming through in a great way, along with a slightly acidic black coffee and plenty of roast, with a bit of heat at the end. the flavor is good with a nice spicy profile from the bourbon and cinnamon, some sweet barrel and body notes, and then a drying roasty finish. the body is good, could stand to be a bit thicker, just a touch watery and with a low level of carb. the cinnamon and the borbon with the drying roast and sweet film make up for it though. i think this will either get a good bit better or worse in abotu a year, we will see!

Bottle shared generously by daknole -- what a great name, you should totally put that on a license plate. In any case, this one pours a roasted black color with a nice tan head. Smells and tastes like cinnamon sugar and coffee. Reminds me of my Gevalia subscription. Dangerously drinkable. Hello, Jackie-O’s.

Bottle. Pours black, with a small, brown head. Aroma is coffee, vanilla, roasted malt, and some cinnamon. Flavor is coffee, cinnamon, vanilla, bourbon, roasted malt, alcohol, and dark fruit. Medium body. Ends slightly tart. This should age well, but is still pretty good now.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured a clear dark brown color with a minimal frothy brown head that diminished with little lacing. Moderate to heavy toasted chocolate, cinamon and alcohol aroma. Heavy sweet toasted malt flavor with a heavy sweet and small alcohol bite finish of long duration. Full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. This is a standout beer.

Bottle 11/156 thanks to bman1113vr. Deep chocolate brown with a cream head. Maple syrup, vanilla, bourbon, and chocolate on the nose. Great palate, flavor is leather, smokey malts, bourbon, and vanilla with a light alcohol finish.

22 oz courtesy of pantanap. Pours a dark pour, near black brownish pour. Near tannish head that dies to a film around the edges. Aromas are coffee, roast, and a touch of cocoa, faint booziness. Initial is coffee grounds, fruity, a touch of tannin? The beer is vanilla, caramel, a touch of creme brulee, the booze is hidden very well with a touch of liveliness. Tannin, and dark malt complexity.

Some nice ruby color in addition to the typical stout darkness. Aroma has nice cinnamon and dark fruit elements. Flavor has a lot going on, not just what was in the aroma but also some citric acid (which could be acidity from the coffee mixed in with the fruit elements) and even coconut. Glad I got to try this one. Tart finish that lingers. If you can get your hands on a bottle, do it.

Bottle 58 of 156 acquired via trade with alexsdad06...thanks again Brad!!! Jet black pour with a small latte head. Tons of chocolate, roasted coffee bean, cherry skin, bourbon, vanilla, and oak. The tartness might not have been intended but really isn’t distracting. Didn’t get a strong indication of the cinnamon...would have been a nice addition. Good.

Wow. Thanks to goryshkewych for hooking me up with this bomber. Pours dark brown with tan head. Nose is coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, malt, roast, earth, spices, and depth. Flavor is medium-bodied roasty malt character with coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, and some earthy spiciness lingering into the finish. Wonderfully deep and complex beer. Keep going with more like this one, Brad.
