Bottle, Sergey's hunt; vintage 2018
Black colour. It smells like a chocolate vanilla cake. The flavour is dominated by dark chocolate and some roast, with some marshmallow, and very evident alcohol; traces of sweeet liquorice in the finish..
Massive.

500ml (thx, Max F.!) at Ash's shared with Alex and Andrey. Appearance: dark brown with a weak beige head. Aroma: bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, toffe, marshmallow, very nice pastry aroma. Taste: along the same lines, quite reach. Overall: very nice.

Bottle (9/4/18) pour in bottle share with AirForceHops--thanks for the opportunity, Chris! Appearance is opaque, extremely dark brown--virtually black with no sparkle, excellent viscosity, ephemeral cap of beige head with no lacing. Aroma is incredibly strong--can smell it from two feet away while outside!--vanilla, roasted malt, bourbon and hints of chocolate. Taste is toffee, vanilla, chocolate, bourbon all coming at you rapid fire serially but seamlessly, then mingles nicely through the rest of the sip and ends with a nice woody--almost wood fired quality. Mouthfeel is full bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation, really nice alcohol warmth deep in the esophagus, hint of alcohol flavor, and finish as taste. Overall, really nicely balanced, nice strength and complexity. Strong all around.

Bottle/Fest. A- Vanilla, fudge. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Vanilla, fudge, Swiss Cake Rolls, bourbon. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Exactly what I would expect. Vanilla and rich fudge with a blend of bourbon. If you look really deep, you can find some oak, toffee, caramel, and marshmallow creme. Would love to have some bottles to hold on to. The only thing that keeps this from being at the very very top is that I feel like I could take regular BCBS and add some real mexican vanilla drops to it and get the same thing. Nonetheless, very tasty.

1 American Pint (cca 500ml) bottle (14,9%) as 2018 Release bottled 04SEP18 from trade with petrinoda, many thanks man. F: medium, dark tanned, quick gone. C: black, opaque. A: a lot of chocolate, vanilla, toffee, caramel, vinous, woody, complex. T: full malty base, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, bit woody, vinous, caramel, toffee, bit warming alcohol, cocoa, low carbonation, perfectly seduces beer, fully enjoyed.

Spectacular, indulgent and warm and jam-packed with vanilla goodness, sweet without being cloy or syrupy. Starts with a welcoming mix of dark chocolate, vanilla, and caramel—like a liquid Milky Way Midnight—yet the oak, coffee cherry, and bourbon add grown-up depth to the candy bar elements, leading to a whiskey-infused fade. Shocking in its easygoing texture, what with the ABV coming in a hair under 15%. Delicious.

Bottle shared @ Dangerous Bottleshares #11. Big fuckin thanks to MotherBrother for bringing this! Been wanting this for so long. Pours pitch black with a small dark brown head. Aromas of vanilla, dark chocolate, milky chocolate, chocolate fudge, caramel, roast, lots of barrel notes; bourbon, oaky notes. Taste is sweet, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, roast, fudge, roasted coconut, vanilla, light licorice, oaky notes, dry finish. Damn, this is good!

OK, this one does not disappoint. Vanilla is used extremely well, and works greatly with the base. Pretty sweet, rich and thick. Not as sharp as the regular, and not as messy as the other variants. Lots of vanilla but not metallic. Loads of bourbon.
