On tap at Mikkeller Bar. Pours black with moderate tan head. Aromas of thick chocolate syrup, vanilla, heavily roasted malts, and light bourbon. Rich flavors of dark chocolate, vanilla extract, roasted malts, and light bourbon. Sweet and somewhat boozy, but still fantastic. A chocolate elixir.

Tap @ CBC, 2014. Pours black with a creamy dark brown head and lacings. Bourbon, vanilla, roast, coffee and chocolate. Smooth and soft. Vinous, slick and sweet. Complex. Wauuuw. Fucking tasty! Thanks Halling :-) Even though it was a coincidence. Filling, sippable, soft, chewy and complex. 4,4 again.. Boom

Sample @ CBC. Intense vanilla. Very sweet. Milk chocolate. Powdersugar. Soft mouthfeel. Maybe a bit too sweet.

Aroma has dark chocolate, some vanilla and Flavour is strong on bourbon notes, some dark chocolate, porto and warming alcohol. Also some woody tones. A really nice slow sipper, alcohol balances the sweetness here. The best DL I’ve had.

Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, molasses, oak, vanilla, dark chocolate, oak and bourbon. Taste is smooth, complex and heavy with loads of molasses, roastiness, oak, bourbon and vanilla notes. Finish is heavy and smooth with loads of vanilla, oak and woody notes, some molasses and dark chocolate. Wow, quite tasty and very different compared to the original and port versions.

Keg@CBC2013 Opaque black color, small brown head. Loads of vanilla, roastyness in the nose. Strong dark chocolate, some vanilla. Full-bodied. Sweet, overly sweet. Vanilla, bourbon, roasted malts. Too sweet for my liking, probably better after ageing.

Pours like cocoa. No head Huge nose. Loads of candy corn butterscotch licorice vanilla and espresso. Tingling sensation. Huge body. Holy shit. This is kilos upon kilos of vanilla beans. This must have been expensive to make. Boozy and roasted chocolate. Insane vanilla and milk chocolate with marshmallow fluff. This is a special beer.

13.05.2017, tap @ MBCC:
Nice brown slightly fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly rich and sweet, dark sugar, dark malts, bourbon, vanilla, chocolate pudding, caramel, oak, toffee, old rope, vanilla, bark, cocoa, hints of coconut. Taste is rich and sweet, dark sugar, dark malts, chocolate pudding, vanilla, caramel, cocoa, bourbon, oak, toffee, booze, minerals. Medium bitterness, sweet boozy mouthfeel. Nice.

After the regular one beeing the biggest disappointment ever the day before, this one could only be better. Still very flat, but at least there is a hint of there beeing a head at all. Aroma is sweet, slightly rich, dark malts, vanilla, dark sugar, chocolate, caramel, coffee, cocoa. Tast is still very sweet, but far away from the sugar bomb from the day before. Dark malts, alcohol, vanilla, oak, dark sugar, cocoa, caramel, coffee. Longlasting bitterness, very dry mouthfeel. It’s a lot better than the regular one, but still it’s not even close to competing with Founders KBS for instance. And Goose Island Bourbon County Stout Vanilla is out of this world compared to this one.

Draft. A black beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of vanilla, roasted malt, and soy sauce. The flavor is sweet with notes of vanilla, alcohol, roasted malt, and soy sauce, leading to a dry finish.
