500 ml bottle from AE, 11/8/24. Missed this year's event due to life stuff getting in the way, but glad to be drinking the beer. Pours dark brown-black with a thin medium brown head. It's fairly coffee forward, cinnamon and other spices coming through along with the wood, vanilla, and rye undertones. This beer drinks rich and smooth. Very flavorful. ABV is noticeable, but not overwhelming. This is a fun one for sure, and well made. 9/4/8/4/18
