50cl bottle via trade, thanks Arturo.
Noire, un peu visqueux, col crémeux moka laissant filament huileux au verre.
Arôme classique de IRS de dessert, pas mal de malts, chocolaté, cannelle, léger café avec une abondance de whisky - rétro de vanille.
Palais est épais, mélasse, cannelle, whisky - vanillé avec une onctuosité fine de lactose. Effervescence moyenne ajoutant à l'épaisseur de bouche. Amertume fine sur la fin presque surette.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark brn/blk with a creamy/foamy tan head . Towards dark tan. Aromas of chocolate, cinnamon and rye. Toffeeish malt. Overall somewhat like Mexican Chocolate. Med + body. Flavor is very vanilla/toffee. There's also a lot of chocolate and cinnamon. Good stuff, but all those flavors tend to diminish the rye. No trace of wood for me. Not getting heat. It's not dry, but far from sticky. Really great flavor combination.

22 oz. bottle purchased at Total Wine & More, Phoenix Arizona. Pitch black color, full lasting tan head. Aroma is rich; mild whiskey, vanilla, chocolate, and cream. The flavor is quite good. Vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, with a mild whiskey in the finish. ABV is completely covered. Wow!

Bottle pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is great big sweet vanilla chocolate cinnamon some fudge just like the title. Taste is more of the nice sweetness with the horchata shining. This is one of the best horchata beers I have had. Very well done and fun for dessert.

Dark brown. Rich rummy, bourbony nose. Sweet, rich, dense, molasses, subtle bourbon, not picking up anything horchata, and maybe lactose but seriously the richness is such that it doesn’t stand out.

On tap at the Beer Junction, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon, followed by cocoa, lactose and lightly tart fruits. Flavour is decadent, with a great mix of cocoa, lactose, and light whiskey. Heavy and silky, but nicely done. Excellent.
