Bottle shared at a tasting. Very dark brown pour with a tall tan head. Notes of vanilla, honey, a bit of a herbal bitterness, more honey, alcoholic bitterness and spiciness in the background. Too boozy and too sweet.

2017-02-04. 650ml bottle at Jonny’s during Eclipses 2016 tasting. Pours an opaque dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma is lots of vanilla and chocolate, like a cake. Taste is pretty the same with low to moderate sweetness. Good stuff.

Sample from 2016 and 2015 at Kurtkeller 025: Eclipse-tastic 01 on 12/23/2016. The beer is a brown-black color with a medium foamy beige head that diminishes steadily to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of oak, bourbon, malt and chocolate. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky vanilla, bourbon and chocolate malt. The finish is sweet with a vanilla and bourbon aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a very dark brown with smal beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong vanilla extract, bourbon, wood. Thick mouth, chewy, vanilla, roast, bourbon, marshmellow fluff, very nice.

Bottle shared during RBWG 2016. Pours clear, deep black-brown with a frothy off-white head. Rich, creamy vanilla in the nose, with undertones of cocoa and roast. Medium to heavy sweet flavor with more sugary vanilla, vanilla frosting, beans, light creamy coffee, earth. Full bodied, chewy, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish, with syrupy sugars, very slight astringency, cacao, creamy vanilla. Tasty stuff.
