We went ahead and put some of this year’s Wizard Blend in boss-level, 1.5L bottles. Then, just to be ridiculous, we dropped a real, honest-to-goodness Ugandan vanilla bean in each one, then sealed the bottle with the finest glitter sparkle wax that money can buy. Please be mindful of said vanilla bean while doing mouth-pours.

Fat på MBCC 2019, blå session. Svart med beige krona. Bourbon, läder, tobak, choklad, marsipan, likörpralin. Mäktig kropp med rejäl fatkaraktär. Stor och eldig. Mycket gott! --- Beer merged from original tick of Wizard Blend (2018): Vanilla Beans on 18 May 2019 at 11:06

Tap @ MBCC 2019. Poured pretty much black in color. Sweetish roasted malty aroma. Chocolate and molasses. Quite a heavy brew with syrup and vanilla domination. Roasty, sweet finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Wizard Blend (2018): Vanilla Beans on 15 Jan 2025 at 12:31
