Sampled on draft at Vintage Estate this beer poured thick, black and oily with a large creamy dark brown head that lingered and left incredible lacing. The aroma was toasty with cocoa, vanilla, wood and floral hops. The flavor was whiskey, cocoa, vanilla, anise and floral hops. Boozy but in a good way. Very long finish. Full bodied. Outstanding.
