750ml bottle. Thanks for the trade Alex! 2018 vintage. Vertical with regular Abraxas. Intense, spicy, smooth and bourbony with some vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa, chocolate, oak and toffee. Awesome, really tasty and complex spicy barrel aged stout. Smoother than the regular one, spiciness is really well rounded by the lovely bourbon notes.

Tap and bottle on different occasions. Black with brown head. Loads of whiskey, vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate. Superbly integrated in a creamy, boozy pillow case. Some light chili without much head.

Fat på MBCC 2018, grönt pass. Kolsvart med mörkbrunt tjusigt skum. Massor av kanel, vanilj, bourbon, kola, kokos och choklad som växer till sig. Stor maffig kropp. En lätt hetta från chilin. Kletig med marsipan och likörpralin i avslutningen. Mäktig.

Tap@MBCC 2018 Green Session, Copenhagen - (finally managed to nail this one) pours black with a nice tan head. Roasted and sweet malty with opulent rich chocolate, sweet caramel and fudge sweetness, charred dark malty accents, full bodied, resonating bourbon vanilla and spices coalesce into the warming dark malty finish.
