12oz @ Brian's shared with Ryan and Phill.
Aroma: vanilla and coffee, some American oak, a bit of sweetness.
Taste: along the same lines, more on the coffee side, kinda thin, some sweetness, boozy. A bit creamy.
Overall: good.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg 02-27-2025; thanks Sammy). Near black with quickly dissipating light tan head. Nutty coffee, vanilla, roast malt, medium body. Seems a bit thin for a 14.6% abv imperial stout.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Opaque dark brown beer, good bubbly dark tan head. Light palate, a bit dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied dark malts but, not short on flavour. Dark chocolate and a little coffee, not sweet. Some alcohol nip in the mid. Dark fruits liberally soaked in bourbon. The various chillis start to warm on the back end. A little chocolate cake and then, frankly a bit of a surprise for me, it all comes together on the light and mildly dry finish. Yeah, these chilli bourbon jobs can often be a mess but, this one is well nuanced and balanced and I was sad when my 100ml was done

Full bodied, light oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Solid.

(Draft at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 16 Aug 2025) Black colour with brief, foamy, beige head. Malty, vinous nose with oak wood, tar, asphalt, caramel and coffee. Malty, roasted, vinous taste with notes of sweet espresso, cacao, tar, oak wood, vanilla, bourbon and a mild herbal bitterness in a warming finish. Full body, sweet. Rich, boozy and tasty. Hardly balanced, but a good slow sipping beer. Very nice.
