Bottle @ Ratebeer Spring Gathering Odense, 2023. Pours Black with a small beige head. Roast, ashes, soy, chili, peppers, bourbon. Well rounded barrel flavors. Quite Lovely.

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.

sticky sweet nose of coffee, cinnamon, Callie’s, vanilla, bourbon dark chocolate nose. Medium body, the spice rack is in full affect in the mouth, the bourbon, the spices. Everything lines up perfectly.

750ml (thx, Brent D.!) @ Ryan's. Vintage 2022. Appearance: pours like oil, very dark brown with a weak dark beige head. Aroma: cinnamon, chillies, some black currant notes coming from cinnamon probably, lots of whiskeys barrel. Taste: very thick, lots of barrels, very complex cinnamon. When it's warming up you can find nice black chocolate notes. I couldn't really find any vanilla. Overall: for sure - this is a nicely done imperial stout, but you can't really find much over the cinnamon and chillies here. Not that they are overpowering here, no, they are nicely balanced, but the rest is quite weak. Some black chocolate here, yes, for sure, but no vanilla here for me. A bit disappointed considering the price tag. I would better have 3-4 bottles of the Counterpart Deciduous, than this one at this crazy price.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Black with small tan head. Lots of ancho and cinnamon with underlying vanilla, cocoa and whiskey barrel. Nicely balanced. Overpriced (just a comment, not taken into account in my rating).

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark oily black with small tan head. Aroma is extremely rich, with lots of bourbon barrels, cinnamon, cocoa nibs, and a touch of vanilla. Flavour is rich and integrated, with lots of rich bourbon barrels, a bit of earthy spiciness, and a wonderful array of vanilla, cocoa and a hint of cinnamon. Rich, complex, and wonderfully luxurious. Lovely stuff and worthy of the high rating on here.

Might prefer regular abraxas or mad fresh of either, I don't think cinnamon holds up well anymore. Nice barrel and chocolate though!
