COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Happy birthday to us! To celebrate our first year as a brewery we brewed a serious imperial stout and aged it on cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, cinnamon sticks, and fresh habanero peppers. This is the first offering in our annual Anniversary series. Here’s to many more!

Bottle thanks to gatorguy92. Near black pour with a thick tan head. Nose of cinnamon and chocolate - flavor is very complex. Vanilla, fundge, cinnamon, and habanero heat in the aftertaste. This was great and I’m glad I got to try it.

On tap at CBC, pours black with a towering brown head. Aroma of rich chocolate cake, a little spice, and cinnamon. Flavour is extremely decadent, full of rich chocolate cake -- that pretty much describes this. Rich, decadent medium sweetened chocolate. Viscous and full-bodied. Remarkable mouthfeel. Awesome stuff.
