500ml (thx, Kevin G.!) @ Ryan's shared with Brian. Appearance: very dark brown with some beige head. Aroma: loads of vanilla, nice American oak, some dark chocolate. Quite sophisticated. Taste: moderately sweet and thick, lots of vanilla, some chocolate, earthiness from vanilla beans notes, brown sugars. I would prefer this one to be more smooth and silky. Overall: it's good, but IMHO it's still not worth the hype.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Near black with small beige head. Nice vanilla character, soft chocolate underlay, very mild bourbon barrel, smooth and balanced.

A nice blend. Super rich, a bit sweet even. The booze is hidden relatively speaking. I like some of their others a bit more. But it is good. Beertemple ams
