7.07
ABV: 13.8% IBU: - Ticks: 2
For this one, the brewers started with a sumptuous base crafted with Belgian artisan malts and dark candi sugar for a rich, full Stout. Then they aged it in peated whisky barrels and conditioned it all on vanilla extract.

Tasting Notes
Notes of gooey caramel, chewy date, and creme brûlée cascade through every silky swig. Wisps of smoke swirl throughout giving it all toasty complexity. Desserty tones and whispers of woody spice completely obscure the 13.8% ABV.

Triple tasting of Deadline variants. Dark brown pour, ring of beige head. Potent smoky aroma hits hard, smoked meats, chocolate. Taste is smoky, though not as strong as the taste, faint vanilla flavors after. This one is all about the smoke.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark bnr/blk with a decent but transient tan head. Smoky aroma. Med plus body. Malty but not really sweet. Bitter enough. Flavor is peat, whiskey, toasted malt and some vanilla. Good stuff.
