Bottle shared at Andrew's B-day bash. Thanks Zack! Pours a deep brown to black with a brown head that dissipates quickly. Lots of cinnamon stick and fudge brownies in the nose with some alcohol heat. Oak and creamy chocolate on the palate with more booze. The chilis are there but a bit muted maybe under the whiskey notes. Lingering whisky dipped brownie on the finish.

22oz bottle at the 2017 RIS tasting, thanks to Steve. poor planning on my part, but these last few have all head the breakfast/cinnamon roll spin going on, making it hard to discern one from the other. Not a bad thing, and this one was pretty good and delicious, but I can’t add much more than to say black pour, beige head, boozy aroma, roast malts, cinnamon, vanilla.
