2023 bottle. Oily black pour with moderate light brown head. Sweet vanilla and bourbon aroma. Interesting well rounded flavor. The Earl Grey is muted but adds nice stability. Another solid Eclipse.

Pint in Chula Vista while my wife tolerates this stop.

Matte brown on black, tacked cocoa head.
Nose is all cocoa, carbo & ash.
Bittersweet leaning sweet & sharp. Lovely dense roast, a touch smokey, a quick wave of dark chocolate, lightly nutty, lingering ash & calcium.
Fizzy, medium astringency, easy abv for 7.

Good, classic stuff.
