A monster imperial stout!
Thick syrupy, boozy, and loaded with huge roasted malts, and espresso. The bitterness just takes over and coats your palate, and only the strongest flavors get through. Some coffee, and touches of soy sauce. This is a beer not to be messed with, sip and enjoy.

Bottle from Tavour. Damn, didn't realize that this was 18%- here we go! Pours a mostly black hue with a small beige head. A huge nose, mostly dried fruit, leather. Very big, lots of similar flavors, dark fruit essence, tobacco, leather, light fruit syrup. Very good. Hot.

2022 vintage bottle from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a dark tan smear. Aroma of chocolate and dark fruits. Full bodied with some heat. Flavor is chocolate, treacle, dried plums. Not dry, but avoids sticky. Very good flavor.

2018 12 oz bottle drunk 8/20/22. Black, clear, low tan head. Oxidized, roasted, anise, alcohol. Alcoholic and roasty with vanilla and dark roasted coffee. Syrupy but ok attenuation. Mostly just too oxidized. Not too old, but just needed barrel aging.

2018 bottle shared. Thanks to whoever brought this one. Pours a deep black to brown with some purple highlights. Decadent nose with fig, plum, cacao nib and brownie with some mild coffee and vanilla as it warms up. ABV hidden masterfully. Smooth and decadent dark fruit with dark chocolate and milk chocolate flavors. Lingering fig, cacao and treacle notes on the finish. Smooth and dangerously drinkable at 18%.
