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.

16 oz. can. Aroma is a nice level of vanilla that is stronger than coconut. In the flavor both adjuncts are alive and well. They are also married together well. Also just a hint of bitter chocolate in the finish for balance. Slick/ oily texture in a full body. Hidden ABV. Excellent.

12 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you! Aroma is rye, mild grain, mild earth. Flavor is the same with the addition of some Pine-Sol. Body is really thin on the border of watery. Texture is bone dry. This could use a few tweak.

32 oz growler filled 2/22/26. Aroma is passionfruit-ish, peach-ish. Flavor follows the nose. Pretty juicy texture. Good malt backing and zero bitterness. Really great strength of flavor for 5.1%.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thanks for the opportunity! Deep brown color with small tan head. Aromas is toffee, dark bread, raisins. Flavor is the aroma and mildly sweet. Medium bodied with a slightly oily mouthfeel. I am sure this was much more impressive 20 years ago. Now it is just good.
