Draft. A black beer with brown head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, spices, cattotcake, and bourbon. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, spices, and a bit of bourbon, leading to a dry roasted finish.

Bottle at the 10th Boise Imperial Stout Tasting. Dark brown pour with a thin tan head. Sweet aroma with a little spice, smells fantastic. Big flavors of espresso and chocolate cake, vanilla, bourbon barrel... then the spice comes in. Light chili heat and a dash of cinnamon. Lovely.

Bottle poured into a snifter showing pitch black with half a finger of quickly dissipating latte colored foam. The nose shows a cinnamon forwardness with a subtle vanilla background. The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Strong chili spice with a cinnamon forwardness and subtle bourbon background.

Big THANKS to digita7693! Sampled bomber @ Borefts 2015. Day 1 as “Cycle Thursday”. Nose is huge cinnamon in an awesome way, vanilla, sweet mocha, candy, huge bourbon, thick sweet goodness. Taste is cinnamon, vanilla, candy, sweet vanilla oak, rich syrupy & sugary bourbon, pralines, sweet candy coated in bourbon, warming, chili is faint & complimentary, warming in a good way,… Spectacular, probably beats every version of Hunahpu htat I have tried so far in own game. Body is pralines, syrup, super creamy, decadent. People can complain about beers like this scoring highly on RB all the day long, feel free to give them to me. I absolutely adore them, spectacular.

25/IX/15 - 1Pt. 6 fl. Oz. bottle @ Borefts 2015 (Bodegraven) - BB: n/a (2015-1239) Thanks to digita7693 for sharing the bottle!

Clear pitch black beer, creamy beige head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of coconut, caramel, sweet, chocolate, sugary, vanilla, cinnamon. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, caramel, sugary, coconut, milk chocolate, chillies. Aftertaste: chillies, spicy, cinnamon, alcohol, coconut, lots of chocolate. Managed to extract all flavours and aromas, without even knowing what beer this was (I wrote it down as "Psycho Tuesday", that's what I had understood when someone told me while handing me the glass).
