Pours a thick, oily black, with a smallish tan head. Aroma is chocolate, dark fruit, roasted grain, coffee. Flavor is chocolate, dark fruit, burnt sugar, roasted grain, coffee, caramel. There's a sweetness underlying everything, as well as a hint of booze. Soft and full mouthfeel. Great sipper.

2016 bottle shared at Andrew's B-day Bash! Thanks Zack! Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown foam that lingers. Tons of roasted coffee, roasted malt, bitter dark chocolate and burnt brown sugar in the nose. Palate has more of the same. Roasty malt and big alcohol booziness. Lingering roast and booze on the finish.
