Draught at SP Brewing, 9/29/23. Dark, inky, no head. Didn't read up on this one but it's spicy as shit in the nose. Reminds of light green bell pepper, thought there was coffee. Fruity, chocolatey, not too heavy in the vanilla. Thought it was coffee but it's just cinnamon. Rich, good attenuation, lots of acidity, spice, dark chocolate. Thick, rich, not too sweet. The heavy acidity is great. The weird cinna-pepper not as much. No booze, good attenuation.

Tap at Sovereign for CBC 2017 into a wineglass showing pitch black with no head and barely any carbonation. The nose shows strong notes of chocolate, figs, molasses, and an altogether vinous quality. Reminiscent of Dark Lord. The palate is full bodied, slick, and oily with no carbonation due to the high ABV. Milk chocolate forward with light maple syrup, cinnamon on the mid-palate with more dry molasses on the finish. Despite the high ABV, there is practically no alcoholic heat.
