Bottle shared at ZZT 10. Pours black with a small brown head. Aroma of cinnamon, cacao, milk chocolate, bounty, coconut, fruity chilli, vanilla, whiskey barrel. Flavor is heavy sweet but in no way cloying and over moderate bitter. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Excellent and worth the hype, really improving on the base beer.

Amazingly balanced. Comes together excellently. Great integration of barrel. Lost of musky roast in here with some smoke, dark chocolate and cinnamon. Pours black with great mocha head and lacing. Bitter finish. Wonderful stuff. Balance is incredible and it certainly has that extra zing of originality. Had a taste of this at Snallygaster thanks to Noodleuser I think who saved a little from the sell-out ruch.

Bottle - Deep dark chocolate, cinnamon, cocoa and a dark depth that causes me pain. Jet black with a brown head. Chocolate, coconut, chilli, cinnamon and a slight bit of booze in the finish. Decadent and superb.
