2011 vintage. Pours black and viscous with a tiny tan head that is gone in an eye blink. Aromas are cocoa, coffee, barrel, vanilla and licorice. Flavors are lovely coffee infused chocolate and vanilla tinged stout with a hint of wood, dash of smoke and a lingering raisin and licorice flavor. Palate is just a tad bit light, but develops nicely as this warms and ends up spot on. Overall, this is super solid and would satiate my Parabola fix when that lovely beer is not around.

Draft at Proof. Black pour with a creamy brown head. Rich chocolate, vanilla, barrel and coffee aroma. Thick chewy chocolate flavor profile with espresso, roasted malts, vanilla, coconut and barrel. Fantastic, non overbearing barrel character and hardly any booze. Goddamn tasty beverage.

Full body and smooth carbonated mouth feel. Velvet on the tongue The flavor is very rich and full of chocolate and the smoke appears in the finish as well along with some coffee.
