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.

Sweet bourbon and a little lime. Definitely tastes like a cocktail, but not a great beer. Mahogany pour with ok head. Very sweet and boozy. Not really something I would recommend.

12oz bottle pours a clear garnet amber with a ring of white head. Nose is cherry and booze and caramel. Flavor is all caramel and butterscotch. Woof. Cloying finish. Wow. Bad.

Bottle shared by cgarvieuk. Appearance - deep black with a fawn head. Nose - syrup and chocolate mainly. A hint of coffee but looks like the bacon aspect has faded. Taste - again syrup and chocolate dominant. Some coffee. Palate - medium bodied and creamy textured. Light roast. Overall - very nice.
