650ml bottle at a bottleshare, when they were still a thing. Pours jet black colour with a beige to tan head. Aroma: roasted malts, cocoa, chocolate, slightly smoky, leather, caramel, orange zest hints, vanilla. Taste: moderate sweet, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, burnt caramel, peat hints. Medium to full body with soft carbonation. Delicious.

Crowler fill from Growler Guys CDA, which won't populate in the drop down menu below even though it's in the database. Aroma is wood, booze, dark fruit, sherry, raisin, dark bread, molasses, soy sauce, toasted marshmallow, licorice, dark chocolate, coffee, leather, pouch tobacco. Pours black as the abyss with a thick tan head with excellent retention. Taste is moderately sweet, boozy, finishing with a moderate herbal hop bitterness; flavors like the aroma. Velvety perfect mouthfeel. A nice sipper that's aged pretty well.

Bottle from cellar. Near black pour, small ring of beige head. Roasty sweet aroma, cola. Taste brings a roasty bite, dark chocolate. Bitterness lingers, dry.

Bottle at Craig's. Pours clear dark brown with a thin tan head. Aromas of chocolate and whisky, light oxidation. Taste is rich dark chocolate, bit of aging noticeable. Tasty though.

Dark brown pour, beige foam on the top. Sweet cocoa nose, chocolate, bit of vanilla and lots of booze. Taste has similar vanilla, whisky and booze. Dry herbal bitterness in the finish, bit harsh in a way. Liquid chocolate in the finish linger, herbal edge and a bit bitter.
