A gravity rich submission aged in Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels and brewed with Madagascar Vanilla and Cinnamon. We sought balance across each element of the recipe.
All told, this beer lands at 14%, but the experience drinking it tucks all of the ethanol away in place of a luscious, two-ton mellow.
Vanilla, BBL driven coconut, bourbon, cinnamon, cherry, chocolate and density all equally synthesized. A really deep beer that lands full panorama.

Draft pour at Wandering Tortoise, Phoenix. Dark, near black pour, thin espresso brown foam head. Aroma jumps out with a ton of vanilla and cinnamon spice from quite a distance. Cinnamon cookie palate, bold chocolate notes, some barrel that hides under the flavorful vanilla and cinnamon dessert. It's not cloying or overly intense in any way. Layered, complex, amd well put together. Incredible.

Pretty thick, somewhat sweet, boozy. Peppery cinnamon, dark chocolate and vanilla. The cinnamon gets a bit Red Hots, but below it is a nice rich canvas of delicious bourbony chocolate sauce. A bit rough but delicious.

On tap at Half Acre, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is loaded with intense cinnamon, vanilla and whiskey barrels. Flavour is absurdly intense, with cinnamon and whiskey barrels upfront, followed by vanilla and a little cocoa. Rich, oily, silky and cinnamony. Lovely.
