Bottle shared by Steasy. Pours black with a earthy brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has lots of hazelnut and chocolate with vanilla and dark grains backing. Flavor has lots of hazelnut and vanilla with sweet dark grains and light chocolate underlying.

7/VI/22 - 1Pt 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ home, BB: n/a (2022-675) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing the bottle!
Little cloudy but mainly rather clear dark brown beer, practically no head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: oh my, lots of chocolate, good roast, hazelnuts indeed, coffee. MF: practically no carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, good roast up front, very gustary and sweet, caramel notes, vanilla, some chocolate, alcohol noticeable, nice stuff! Aftertaste: good roast, sweet, caramel, malty, vanilla notes, lots of alcohol, nice one! Could’ve used some more carbonation and a bit less alcohol, but very nice aroma and flavour profile!

Bottle pour at Pontoon Brownie Bash 2021. Black with brownish head. Huge nuttiness, just unreal, loads of hazelnuts. Chocolate, coffee, vanilla, bitterish finish. Thick and almost easy drinkable. Medium+ sweetness. Full bodied.

On tap at Lumberjack Day. Pours dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong hazelnut, cocoa, roast, vanilla bean. Slick body, hazelnut, vanilla, roasted malt, boozy finish, enjoyed this.

Bomber at share. Black oily pour, slick. Aroma is hazelnut and chocolate. Wonderfully smooth, taste brings vanilla to this already exquisite confection. Exceptional.

Bottle from another IP trade with richiesd. Pours a pitch black colour and a dark brown head with short retention. Aroma's: vanilla first, then hazelnut and mild coffee, sweet. Retronasal it's nutty, vanilla, sweet, a bit alcoholic. Flavour is very sweet with vanilla, hazelnut and light fruit. Above medium bodied. Alcohol is well hidden. Long finish, sweet and nutty. Very nice, but also very sweet...
