Bottle - Lots of raisin, date and prune with some wood notes. Deep dark brown with active carbonation and a light brown head. Woody prune juice. Light tartness and dark sugars, tons of raisin and date and that Tequila oaky harshness. Shouldn’t have opened the bottle alone.

750ml bottle pours a murky, deep amber with some creamy, off white head. Nose has A LOT of tequila, smoke, agave, booze, mild lime spice. Flavor is a little better, malty, caramel, plenty of agave, mild lime, a little honey. Harsh finish.

A lot of chocolate and roast for a Belgian strong. A lot of oak in this as well. Pours brown with OK head and lacing. Light sour finish. Really kind of a mess.

750ml bottle. Poured a muddy brown color without much of a head. Aroma was light boozy rum and tiquila notes. Flavor is light woody booze, some alcohol notes. A touch boozy. Meh.

Bottle with Stephen. Thanks! Reddish brown appearance with a light brown head. Dark grape, brandy, caramel, lemon, honey, chocolate, heavy tannic aroma. Twangy, very tannic, port, caramel, dark grape, vanilla, cinnamon flavor. A sipper but very fun.

Bottle as shown thanks to Matt. Pours a cloudy brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is a strong oak and agave. Medium mouthfeel with strong agave and oak with boozy finish. Good.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark amber brown with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out loads of tequila, peanut butter, cocoa, and bourbon - wow, that's a unique pungent nose. Flavour reveals way too much tequila, almost nauseatingly so unfortunately, with a little peanut butter and cocoa. The tequila is extremely dominant with secondary notes of peanut butter. Certainly a unique beer, unlike anything I've ever head. I just can't deal with the tequila. Yeuch.

On tap at bottleworks. Dark pour with chocolate. Delicious barrel aged flavor. Doesn’t taste nearly as strong as it is. Very smooth finish. Happy anniversary!
