Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is chocolate and some slight roasted notes. Flavour is coconut, alcohol, some dried fruits, alcohol and mild syrupy tones with a wee bit of vanillaish elements. Nice sweet coconut syrupy tones in aftertaste.

Finally, the last and final: Beer #21 of my 10,00th Beer Milestone Celebration! Deep dark brown and oily coloured body with a nice, tan and light brown coloured head that fades relatively slowly atop the 90 per cent opaque dark brown body, due to the dark colour. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, light grain , a heavy hit of chocolate, raisins, pitted fruit, molasses, toasted coconut and especially alcohol - very strong in the nose, in a good, pungent/potent way, but definitely there. Full-bodied; Rich roasty malts show at first with a big oatmeal and grainy bite towards the finish with some burnt sugars and caramel coming through, but finishing with more of a pitted fruit, figgy note at the finish, all with some vanilla and oak here as well. Aftertaste is rich, pungent and very dessert-y with some coconut, icing sugar, vanilla, lactose, figs and earth all here, but the toasted coconut and alcohol are by far the strongest, in a nice way, but they do show pretty strongly. Overall, a very nice and robust beer that clearly shows it's double-digit alcohol percentage in terms of body and pungency, but the robust and complex flavours are muted to a degree, but the coconut, chocolate, lactose, vanilla and especially oatmeal reign supreme here in a good way. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, as Beer #21 [the LAST of the 21 - 10 (for 10,000) of Each side of the 10,000 Beer Milestone and the 10,000th itself!] of my 10,000th Beer Milestone, purchased from Liqour Outlet (fitting) in Boonton, New Jersey on 21-November-2018 for US$8,69, packaged on 26-September-2018 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-June-2023. My can clearly states the ABV at 13,0%, but it shows closer to 10,2% in a good thing!

Lots to offer, flavor wise, from this pint can brewed by The Bruery. And one of my favorite brewers too. Let us see if there is follow through. Making a hard pour into a globe glass that is out for the session. I see a thick, jet black liquid with a hefty head of dark brown foam. I smell dark chocolate and vanilla. But the taste is what I am here for. Heavy dark chocolate with cane syrup, dark bread, a bit of bourbon and a bare hint of pastry. Coconut, I am just not getting it. Unfortunate. I do like the viscosity and the touch of bitterness. Oh, what it could have been.

Tap (Szynkarnia, Wrocław). Wanilia i czekolada w aromacie, smak nieco uboższy z delikatną nutą śliwki i bardzo subtelnym kwaskiem na finiszu, niemniej smaczne.

On tap at Man in the Moon. Almost black with a small tan head. Sweet with chocolate, some vanilla, caramel and bourbon. Maybe some hints of coconut? Kind of balanced.
