750mL bottle pours with a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin mocha colored head of foam. The aroma offers up reduced sugars, booze and then lighter notes of chocolate and dark fruity esters. Another pull and a boozy chocolate brownie sensation is noticed. The taste delivers smooth slick sweetness, molasses, nectar sweet malts and booze. Toward the finish pleasing chocolate notes and a quick flash of sweet dark fruity esters are noticed amid the booziness. Really nice sipper.

Pour from a bottle shared. Cheers Dylan. Pours a pitch black with a small bit of head. Big rich, bourbon-forward nose with cacao nib, coffee and caramel toffee chews. Definitely boozy on the palate, but more cacao, chocolate, tobacco and faint roasted malt smoke. As it warms up lots of fig, plum and prune notes start to rear their head. Surprisingly drinkable with the heat from the 14.5%. Lingering cacao nib, coffee, oak, fig and bourbon. A big, bold beer.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2016. This one has a deep darkish brown color, and on the top there's small islandy and softly lacing brown head. Wow! Lots of aroma. It's almost a little sharp boozy, a good amount of vanilla, lots of cocoa beans. Rich chocolate, cocoa, marzipan. Just a really intense and mighty aroma - and lots of it! And it tastes lovely as well. Superb salty licorice, muscovado and molasses combined with honey sweetness and a rich chocolaty base. Wow this was good all the way! It's thick and oily in the mouth and it's soft prickling on the bubbles. A mighty one. 13.05.2016
