I’m assuming this is last year’s batch.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a black color with a slim finger’s off white to tan head.
The smell starts off with milk chocolate, big and roasty and sticky sweet, meshing with roasty coffee beans. Subtle marshmallow creeps in to balance.
The taste follows the smell nicely. A healthy amount of balanced roasty to sweet stickiness. Sticky sweet cocoa aftertaste runs into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium in body with a nice sessionable feel about it (guessing because of the age, this smoothed out the way it did).
Overall, I liked this one for me, and am guessing it probably has more strength when fresh. Still, this was very good for what it was tonight.

65 cl bottle @ home
Aroma is sweet and nice with lots of vanilla. Also licorice and mild bourbon tones. Flavour has strong vanilla, some coffee, bourbon and woody tones. Also mild cardboard-ish tones, perhaps a bit too old? Still, quite nice stuff.

12 oz can poured. Pours a thick copper orange with a near infinite foam head and lacing. Huge hoppy orange fruit aroma. Thick body, nice sweet fruit flavor throughout. A little bitter in the late finish, but overall a good IPA here.
