Dark, malty, roasty. Nice bitterness, and little chocolate taste. Solid black IPA, would like to try a bit fresher.

500 ml bottle from AE, 1/10/24. Dark brown color with almost no head. Roast, whiskey, wood, vanilla, and nuts. Some candied sugar notes. Dark chocolate. Finishes on a more toffee, vanilla, and pecan thing. Not getting much of the cinnamon, but otherwise it is pretty much as described. Balanced up-front with a sweet and flavorful finish. Drinks thick and creamy. Very smooth. Soft, almost flat carbonation. Very rich, rather sweet, very flavorful stuff. Pretty much no ABV burn on this one, which clocks in at a (somewhat low for the style, but still high overall) 10.4%. Not much too complain about here, all the flavors work nicely.

Bottle from AE, 12/19/23. Pours a dark brown color with a medium brown head that dissipates quickly down to nothing. Strong bourbon and wood aroma and flavor profile. Getting roast and coffee, some unsweet chocolate, molasses, and a good bit of licorice. Fairly dry, fairly boozy.
