33cl bottle pours an inky, leggy black. No head. Nose has deep coffee and kahlua, port, csramel, chocolate syrup, some booze. Flavor has more. The chocolate and coffee and vanilla are also off set by black pepper and raisins. Nutty. Crazy long finish. Effectively still and drinks like a liqueur. I though I didn't like this at first but it grew on me.

Thanks to the random Swede who shared this with us all in the MBCC queue :) Opulent dark smooth chocolate, some caramel and toffee malty sweetness, full bodied, bourbon and vanilla into the lingering dark malty finish. Lovely.

Undated 330mL bottle drunk 4/20/25.
No head whatsoever despite an aggressive pour.
Rich vanilla, old fruity coffee and lactose-laced chocolate. Don't get any barrel, but there's Barrel-Aged mellowness to it.
Bit of bright bourbon spice with a chocolatey coffee and creamy vanilla-meets-lactose character. It's been so long since I've had an Affogato that I don't remember how I justified the lactose, which is strong here, when is expect it shouldn't be due to barrel aging. But there's a good richness of flavor, some interesting bourbon and good vanilla character. No booze, though quite a bit of coffee yet. I'd say it needs more age, but these Trillium / JWB beers did NOT age well.
