12 oz from the BA Extreme Beer Box. Aroma is extremely boozy. Also notes of vanilla, orange, raisin, sherry, wood, earth. Pours hazy caramel brown with orange tints and a small off-white head that falls into a ring quickly. Some unappetizing looking floaties suspended in the liquid. Taste is moderately to highly sweet, moderately tart, faintly bitter, finishing dry. Tastes and smells boozier than beers I've had in the 15+% range. Not horrible, but one and done for sure.

I came across this 12 oz bottle last month at the Total Wine in The Villages, Florida. My first venture with Funky Buddha since they do not distribute near me, I have increased expectations because of the style and the vanilla. I pull out a snifter from a TX brewery before making the pour. An unsurprising dark mahogany liquid followed by a lingering skim of tawny brown foam. The nose is promising with dark chocolate, cocoa, baked bread and a hint of vanilla. I lift the glass for a drink and I can say I am not disappointed. Heavy with the chocolate, grain, a hoppy note, German chocolate cake, malt, vanilla, some booziness providing a small burn and all this finished with a nice bitterness. I believe I am off to a good start with the brewery.
