Beer of infinite density. Massive, rich coffee and chocolate flavour mingle with the vanilla and dried fruit. A beer to be shared and savoured. Can be cellared. Enjoy with (or as) dessert!

Sampled Feb 2015.
650 ml bottle.
Pours black with slight tan head. Aromas of licorice, ash, roasted barley and alcohol. Flavors carry same with dark chocolate and light bourbon. Very hot. Probably the hottest to date - possibly overkill - but will need to cellar and see.

650 ml bottle. Original rating for 2012 vintage sampled Sept/12: Pours black with very little head. Aromas of smoke and dark chocolate powder. Smoky light bourbon flavor with underlying dark chocolate and black coffee notes. Alcohol present but in keeping with the bourbon taste. Nice. Much better now that it’s aged for a bit. Again for 2012 vintage sampled May/13 - Much richer though still hot. Additional toffee notes. 8/4/9/4/16

Poured from 250mL can (pkg Aug 18, 2025; thanks secret friend). Near black with small beige head. Mild roast malt, some feint fruit notes, just a hint of oak in the background. Okay, nice size for a night cap.

[Vintage 2021] 500mL bottle. Pours black with a beige head. Aroma has roasted malts, espresso, and a ton of smoky bourbon. Flavour has rich roasted malts, dark chocolate, espresso, all wrapped in nice smoky bourbon. Deep and rich, lots of good roast and well-complemented with bourbon. Excellent.
