Sampled from the tap at the brewery. 2018 version. Pours near black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a decent amount of whiskey with dark grains, roasted malts and chocolate supporting. Flavor has sweet dark grains and chocolate with a whiskey bite and roasted malts underlying.

On tap at Alehouse Project for Dark Side IV Festival. Big bold and beautful! Boozy nose with licorice and raisin coming through. Viscous in the mouth. Gorgeous party of vanilla, dried fruits and roasted malts. Feel lucjy to have found this on tap.

Bottle, 13C. Prince Wine Essendon - it’ll be long gone (from there and probably anywhere else). Pretty much black with an inch of tan head that lasts OK and laces well. Aroma of mocha, roasted hazelnuts, vanilla, sherry - not what I expected. Sweet with some less than fully integrated whisky. More roasted flavours and grass than suggested by the aroma, but the praline/ nougat thing is still a big part of the story. There’s a lick of booze and a decent amount of bitterness at the end that stops it being too dessert-like. Silky texture. After a time there’s a spiced Indian milk caramel element. Very much barrel forward, as the kiddies say. And just a bit much so for me for a stout. But a lovely and accomplished beer.
