As dark as beers come. Big flavour of chocolate, coffee and roast. Aged in whiskey barrels to give a vanilla whiskey finish to this extremely strong beer. Does well with extended cellaring.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Black with minimal tan head. Aroma of tobacco, whiskey, mild dark chocolate and vanilla. Taste of tobacco, chocolate, and mild whiskey, mild alcohol. Nice complexity. This just took the spot of my favourite Parallel 49 beer (Toques of Hazard a very close second).
