Samples at Total Wine beer tasting class. Aroma is of chocolate and stout, somewhat roasted. Thick, rich, chocolate, coffee, toffee, vanilla, with some bitterness to balance. Not for everyone; a relative hated it, but a friend and I loved it.

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.
