12oz bottle via trade pours a dark black with a ring of tan head. Nose has roasted nuts and caramel, some cinnamon, some coffee, chocolate covered espresso bean. Flavor is heavy with cocoa and malt and caramel, toffee, coffee, rootbeer, Charleston Chew. Finishes big, sweet and boozy.

Bottle from trade with Huskertan: pours black with a brown head. Aroma is vanilla, whisky, chocolate, loads of coffee. Taste is sweet, but not too sweet. Vanilla and the barrel stand out in good measure. The taste is strong but it is not overwhelming or too slanted in this or that direction. Nice and creamy mouthfeel. Quite good.

Bottle shared by Huskertan at the Omaha Ratebeer/ Untappd summer gathering. Flavor has everything that is advertised; vanilla, whiskey, chocolate, and a lasting coffee element throughout. Medium plus body with not booze showing. The best beer I have ever had from this brewery.

Draft/Fest. A- Espresso, coffee, sweet mocha, slightly roasty, subtle caramel, mild french vanilla. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Black coffee, roasty, mild bitterness, dark chocolate, mild vanilla. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Hot damn. Little did I know my 2,500th rating would be so delightful and a local beer at that. This was absolutely spot on. I already liked their Certified Evil Imperial Porter so adding coffee and vanilla was a no brainer and of course aging it in their own whisky barrels. The aging doesn't make it boozy but simply adds depth. The balance of the coffee with a touch of sweetness and bitterness coupled with a smooth natural vanilla flavor. Absolutely beautiful beer and I really hope they bottle this up.
