Bottle at tasting. Aroma of delicious bourbon, vanilla, caramel fudge, chocolate, malt and some oak. Taste of rich full bourbon, milk chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, oak and a delicious long finish. Fantastic. Love this.

Thnx to david S ! Big expectations here ! Pours black, unclear, trough its darkness. Small ring of off white head. Smell is full, roasty, sweet, some oak. Bourbon ? Medium intensity. Taste is sharp, intense roastyness, mild bitterness, oak, mild bourbon ? Quite syrupy. very well, just as about any other beer they made to date.

Bottle [from trade with mista, thanks!] @ home. Opaque black color, medium sized brown to dark brown colored head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is malts, heavy bourbon, dark raisins. Lovely aroma. Taste malts, bourbon, dark and roasted malts lightly, roasted malt bitterness and some alcohol bitterness. Flavor imo is not nearly as good as the aroma. Still a nice beer but I'm not convinced (as in: not a huge fan this time as I have had previous CW Anniversary beers which were awesome and this is ok to solid so a little less good than I had hoped for). A bit thinner bodied than I had expected, carbonation is suitable to the beer. All things considered, decent to solid but bit as impressive as some of the anniversary beers in the past have been.

Bottle. Pours opaque black, small brown head, dissipates fairly quickly, good lacing. Aroma is bourbon, chocolate, molasses, vanilla, mocha, roasty. Flavor is medium plus sweet, medium bitter, roasty cocoa, vanilla and well integrated bourbon, some woodiness. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Quite good.

Sampled from bottle at deanso’s. Courtesy of floris. Black pour with tan head. Big sweet dark roasted malts. Big bourbon, licorice. Deep roasty and sweetened by bourbon. Big sweet and moderate bitter. Full body, smooth velvety feel. Bit alcoholic, nutty, almost salmiac. Nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of 18 Anniversary Edition on 08 Jan 2018 at 16:08 - Score: 8

Bottle shared thanks to Zer0. Black with light brown head. Lots of bourbon, molasses, drop, lots of roasted nuts, light maple syrup and coffee. Quite roasted actually, with soft tannins from the wood and some sweet boozy bourbon. Over medium sweet and medium bitter. Full bodied. Lovely!
