Bottle from the chap who played with it, my 2021 US Secret Santa, Brad (Alexsdad06). Drank on18th February 2022 at my daughters in Laguna Hills. Almost black bodied, tight head of tanned bubbles. The vanilla beans and barrel aging agree nicely with the lactose and blueberries to produce a smooth, mellow beer that oozes booze with a coffee/chocolate edge and a caramel sweetness. Lovely, cheers Brad!

Bootleg 12oz bottle. Aroma is strong with a smooth vanilla that I though was barrel at first. But then the description informs me better. Soft sweet vanilla and Impy stout aroma. Flavor is low vanilla with some sweet chocolate. Light papery roasted malts. Really nice.

Roast and dark chocolate. A little too much musk here. Black pour with decent head. Oily texture like you got no WD40. Bottle.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours dark brn/blk with a dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate and vanilla with a bit of whisky. HInt of fruit. Med + body. Flavor is smooth dark malt, some sweetness that could be lactose, vanilla, some darkish fruit and whisky and a bit of wood. With the passage of time I can just barely decipher blueberry. Chocolate comes back in the finish in a mild way. There’s a sort of spice aspect that reminds of rye. Rye barrels? I’m starting to feel that as actuality. Goes well with Marcus’ fresh blueberries.
