Blessed is a blend of 1 and 3 year old bourbon barrel-aged Imperial Stouts finished on TONS of coconut and Madagascar vanilla beans. It tastes like if you took a waffle cone and filled it with bourbon soaked German chocolate cake then drizzled it with burnt caramel.

Dunno how I ended up with two 2023 bottles but here's the second! Lots of boozy coconut notes, vanilla finish, monster truck of flavor. Syrupy almost maple barrel notes all over, oaky oak oak.

Crowler from Beerdome. Thanks Will. Pours jet black with a small bubbly head. Coconut, syrup, Vanilla and coffee. Sweet. Tasty although a little less of everything would have done it better. 4.1.

On tap @Taplokaal Gist (2024 edition, 16% ABV!), coming from my dad's, I considered this worthy of a detour on my way home. Pours pitch black, oily, with no head. Aroma's: full on chocolate, some coconut, boozy, sweet, syruppy. Retronasal: boozy, bourbon, big chocolate, coconut, vanilla. Flavour is heavy sweet, chocolate, bourbon. Alcohol feel is hot, burning. Full bodied, this is truly a blubberdikke jetser. Long finish with remaining chocolatey sweetness, light bitterness. Nice, but 15 cl is really enough (also pricewise).

Аромат очень крутой, кокосик, приятная бочка, слегка опаленое дерево, бобы. Цвет черный, пенки нету. Вкус очень крутой, кокос как обычный так и обжаренный, дерево мягкое, легкая жженка, шоколада много, намного больше чем в аромате.
