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.

375ml bottle pours out thick black topped with a ring of a tan head. Nose is sweet chocolate milk vanilla coconut bourbon barrel kick. Taste is more of the nice sweet chocolate coconut bourbon barrel notes. Wow great.

Can't wait for more anchorage pastries, they murdered this with coconut and vanilla and the barrel syrupy booze notes held up nicely.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours black with small tan head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong coconut, roast, and vanilla. Thick body, mounds bar, dark chocolate, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.

12.7 oz waxed. Aroma is chocolaty, vanilla, bourbon, coconut. Pours like motor oil with an immediately collapsing dark tan head. Taste is highly sweet, a tad savory, with flavors like the aroma. Not as boozy tasting as the aroma let on. It's tasty, but very rich and way too sweet to be anything other than a dessert sipper.

Waxed, capped 375 from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a very dark rusty/tan, but quite transient, head. The aroma is candy/pastry. Chocolate pastry; toasted coconut; bourbon/vanilla. Super full bodied. Some heat. Mostly down the gullet. Flavor is like a chocolate cake from Vienna. Minus any cherries. Bourbon/vanilla. Definitely coconut. No beer could have so much flavor. Til now. I think wood can be found, but not certain. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
