This was the 2022 vintage, bought in 2026. I have been anxious to try this but I wanted to share it. I couldn’t wait so I had to drink the bottle by myself.

The mixture tasted nice together but I couldn’t pick out the individual ingredients.

Bottle from Untappd Beer Advocate mixed pack. Opaque dark brown, nice viscosity, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is strong earthy malt, molasses, anise. Taste follows aroma with late hint of cacao nibs & salted caramel. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Tastes good but, if you're going to advertise a lot of cacao nibs and salted caramel, they've got to be more present!!

500 ml shared by tfontana. Thank you! 2023 vintage. Aroma is Black licorice for days the body and texture nice but I’m not really finding the salted caramel. It is a black licorice bomb. A rare swing and a miss for this brewer. Not my style of imperial stout.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Opaque black color, quickly diminishing brown head. Aroma is malts, coffee, chocolate. Flavor is wow, heavy, huge coffee, boozy a bit, sweet vanilla, chocolaty notes but also quite sweet. In the finish though, there's definitely also a roasty bitterness. A bit over the top for me personally, but I can see a lot of people liking this a lot.

Thanks Steve.
Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow/orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to grassy hop notes up front with some citrusy hoppiness settling in underneath; light clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet through the prior noted aromas to add some light juiciness in there; finishes citrusy and a touch of floral
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, some smoothness and a touch of dryness on the tongue
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA I would welcome again.
