Bottle 27/34 courtesy of John at James’s 4k/5k/10k tasting. Pours a deep viscous black with very faint hints of a tan head around the edges. Light oxidization on the nose, big deep chocolate and cocoa, loads of sweet roast. Smells awesome. Big silky smooth mouthfeel with a load of chocolate, cocoa, and warm roast. Velvety, incredibly smooth. Alcohol is well hidden. Lingering roast. Wonderful.

Sample pour at the brewery. Still almost black pour. Very viscous. Aroma of oak and port. Taste is sweet, syrupy and actually reminds me of fresh Triple Bock back in the day. Flavor is port wine, molasses, dark brown sugar, and a coffee finish. Nice. Well hidden ABV.
