Smooth, sweetish and slightly roasty with some spices, vanilla, bourbon, hints of chili, mole and chocolate sauce. Creamy, sweetish and slightly spicy finish. A lot more balanced than the coffee one. Still perhaps not quite as good as the previous batches

2022 750mL bottle thanks to Nathan, shared on 2/17/24. Clear, I think, dark, viscous, no head. Magenta/maroon highlights. Nose is pretty nicely homogenized. No single adjunct jumps out at you and the cinnamon doesn't seem overdone. Dense, chocolatey malts with some dryness interjected by both spicy chili and light barrel. No booze. Surprisingly tame and mellow. In the mouth it fares similar. Surprisingly mellow all around. Some bourbon but not quite as much barrel character as I'd like, or have gotten used to having from so much Side Project. Humble brags aside, it's mellow, flavorful, not boozey or sugary. Well done.

Medium body, boozy, a touch roasty. Loads of cinnamon, chocolate, some bourbon. Some cinnabon feels but could do with less cinnamon. Very nice to check this off the list but a bit underwhelming. Nice.

Loads of cinnamon, spices, vanilla, cocoa, hints of chili and bourbon. Surprisingly thin bodied. Not quite as awesome as I remembered

Ratebeer Odense International St Paddy Celebration. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee with cinnamon, vanilla and green pepper. Sweet and full bodied roasted flavour with light spice and a touch of chili heat. Very well rounded and reasonably balanced spiced beer.
