We have taken rye barrel aged Pandemic and blended it with 2014 Madness that aged over a year in a Cabernet barrel with blackberries. This barrel-aged strong ale has a deep rich complexity with hints of chocolate, dried fruit, fresh berries and warming booze notes.

750 ml bottle shared by a friend, thanks Ben! Dark black with light tan head. Aromas of whiskey, dark fruit, alcohol, oak. Tastes of whiskey, caramel, dark fruit, toffee, oak, light dark chocolate. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Not as bad as I was expecting it to be.

750ml bottle pours an oily, translucent brown with no head. Nose is bad, soil, feet, some bread, some tobacco, light wood. Flavor is... well... not much happening; booze, harsh oak/wood, paint thinner, some mild caramel. Finishes oily and hot. Could be the worst Illuminati offering yet, and I have had them all.
