500 ml bottle, 2021 release, 10/28/21. Thanks John! Dark brown color, thin head. Nice, fairly strong rye whiskey over tasty roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate base. Tasty.

Massive stout, yet deceptively easygoing--good luck guessing this is a 12% behemoth without looking at the label. Gives up plenty of dark chocolate, roast, molasses, anise, and espresso, with underlying notes of black cherry, cola, and vanilla. Oak kicks in on the finish, while the rye whiskey courses throughout, adding backing spice, pepper, and a dry herbal undertone. Very nice.

500 ml bottle from Craft Shack. Pours dark brn/blk with a creamy dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, rye and arguably wood. Full bodied. Flavor hits hard with rye spice and chocolate, then burnt malt, coffee, and arguably some wood. Not dry, but definitely not sticky. A bit of heat. This is extremely tasty.
