22 oz. bottle, pours jet black with a tiny brown head. Aroma is rich, with tons of vanilla, dark sugars, and plenty of bourbon barrels. Flavour is extremely rich, with tons of dark sugars, rich vanilla, and big bourbon notes that round things out. Extremely rich and sticky, with shitloads of vanilla and bourbon to round things out. Massive BA vanilla stout. Excellent, but I can't call it elegant.

This really tastes like Bud or Old Milwaukee. Maybe a little better because you don't get the off adjunct aftertaste. Pours golden with ok head and lacing. I guess you could sub this as water at the taproom in between their 400 variants of the same boozy diabetes stout so you can try to tell them all apart. Tap at Snally.

Roast, caramel. Pours black with mocha head and lacing. Finishes quite bitter, with a little tang. Bourbon, cinnamon and hazelnut are dialed back, relatively speaking for Cycle. I don't mind this variant. Tap at Snally.
