750mL bottle, split 6 ways, pours jet black with a small tan head - looks like oil. Aroma of rich roasted malt, tons of licorice, chocolate and some dark fruits. Flavour of primarily licorice and oak, with rich dark fruits, espresso and booze. ABV is well-worked in for 13+%, but still boozy. Very good.

Bottle. Pours oily, black, with a superb little brown head. Beautiful! Chocolate, hopas and soy notes in the aroma. Taste is perfectly balanced. Lots of chocolote. Milk chocolate. Citrus hops. Some licorice in the aftertaste. The body is big and the texture incredibly smooth.

. Shared a 22 oz bottle with LiveFREEorRYE. Used a snifter. A nice hazy orange with lots of floating particles in the liquid. Sheets of lacing all the way down, with nice thick full white head. Pleasing blend of wet hops on the nose. Taste is a perfect balance of sweet malt and big hope profile. Grapefruit, pine and European hops. Nice tones of malt makes your thirst for more. Excellent brew, if you see it, pick up a bottle before it is gone. Nice!
