Smell of chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Black colour, very dark brown, high head. Aroma of tar, coffee, licorice, alcohol, cough mixture, some oak. Cocoa in finish. A full spectrum of imperial stout flavours. Bitter, with plenty of alcohol sweetness. Viscous oily texture, heavy body. Very flat carbon. Despite all this, very soft palate. Is pretty much exactly what it promises.

Bottle @ ZEBF 2015. Aroma is mostly coffee and vanilla. Taste is thick, with lots of coffee and vanilla. The name kinda gives it away. Great beer though.

Black color with a medium light beige head that quickly diminishes. Aroma has notes of toasted malts, black chocolate and ripe dark fruit. Flavor is slightly sweet, toasted and roasted notes, coffee beans and chocolate, barrel notes and ripe plumbs hints. Slightly sweetness in the final with roasted notes and hints of vanilla. Creamy and smooth on palate.

750 ml bottle shared by Willrunforbeer best by May of 2013 stamped on the cork. Well it smells fine, very chocolatey. Rich Melted chocolate bar with a hint of roast and the lightest note of bourbon. Used coffee grounds are also here.
Well, I got excited for no reason. The chocolate element and roast are still there but the bean has turned lightly acidic which proves to mean again coffee bean beers need to be fresh. And unfortunately not much of a bourbon character to help save it. I’m sure it’s a different animal fresh but this breweries beer can NOT sit.
