On tap at the brewery. Black with almost no head. Intensive dense bitter chocolate. Thick cocoa. Bourbon. Oily. Not nearly too sweet. Full bodied. Just beautiful.

Draught at Brewing, 10/1/23. Dark, clear, no head. Nose has remnants of vanilla, super mellow bourbon, dark chocolate, hint of oxidation (cardboard). No alcohol. Soft, rich, well attenuated and drier than when fresh, no doubt, which is nice. Small amount of pleasant vanilla, dark chocolate and caramel-bourbon. If you are expecting a 2022 BBT texture of a 10 year old beer, this isn't it, but I think it's aged wonderfully and still has plentiful deep malts. Excellent barrel character, no alcohol or excess sugar.

Bottle shared at A Day To Sink All Sea Shepards tasting. Full lineup of 1-6 + DB. Black with a ring tan head. Aroma of big vanilla, chocolate, caramel, toffee, soy. Flavour is heavy sweet, moderate to heavy bitter and big umami. Full bodied with a thick chewy texture and soft carbonation. Having tried this against the rest I can see why this is considered the best. Superb. [17-09-2016]

@ A day to sink all seasheppards. Thnx for sharing, everyone !! Pours black, no head. Smell is vanilla. Silky. Taste is intense, bit bitter, vanilla. rather sweet. complex, somehow, between pure extremism, this is balanced.
