2013. Mornin Delight blows this to shreds. A bit of dark cherries, needs more depth of roast. Pretty acetic; dark fruits. Not for me, really. Good, not great.

Bottle shared at GTMW line, pours black with a thick brown head and lacing, the aroma is huge, chocolate, fudge, whiskey and vanilla, super sweet, kind of reminds me of a fresh Dark Lord, the flavor is just as sweet as the aroma, tons of chocolate mixed in with some oak and vanilla, nice thick mouthfeel, good stuff, just really sweet, glad I only had a small sample, couldn’t put down 16oz of this stuff in one sitting.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Wow. This was a big surprise for me. Big dark pour, thick, tan head that sticks around. Big chocolate, a hint of coffee and a nice whiskey smell. Awesome mouthfeel - thick but not overbearing. Big sweet malts give way to chocolate, coffee and whiskey heat. Beautiful, balanced but still feels aggressive with some boozy heat.

Bottle shared by TheAlum at DLD 2013- thanks a ton, Adam! Pours an opaque brown with a tan head. Aroma of molasses, chocolate, syrup, caramel, dark and dried fruits (dates, figs, raisins), and some warmth from the barrels. Flavor of molasses, brown sugar, caramel, figs, dates, chocolate, and some toasted malts. Medium-full bodied, with a viscous mouthfeel and low carbonation. Big, bold, sweet, smooth - good gravy, this is delicious.

April 20, 2013 - bottle shared by Brandon. Black pour with a light brown head that faded quickly. Aroma was chocolate, vanilla, spice and whiskey. Taste was consistent with aroma. Wow, this was amazing. Did not have big expectations going in, but this delivered. TG is officially on my radar.
4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Poured into brandy glass. Aroma: oak, molasses, and soy bloomed into chocolately bourbon in the glass. Appearance: frothy, light-brown head. Pours a motor oil--and feels that way on the..Palate: slick, thick, syrupy. Leaves sweet chocolate residue. Taste: Tangy and sweet chocolate, bourbon and dried fruits (raisins/dates).
This seemed to me like a sweeter and tangier version of BCBS. Excellent beer, but the price (29 for a bomber at John’s) is more killer than the beer.
