UPDATED: AUG 28, 2019 Black hue with a thin light khaki head. Roasty black malty nose with notes of wood and coffee and roast char. Big thick flavor that’s dark with lingering intensity, a little woody alcohol phenol, slightly solvent like, with dark roast black malt and a hint of coffee.

Aroma of marshmallow, oak, vanilla, cocoa, brown sugar, bourbon, and mild roast. Flavor of vanilla, dried dark fruits, bourbon, caramel, brown sugar, chocolate, and oak.

Thanks to kappldav123 for sharing! Pours out pitch black, no head. Strong berriefruity coffee smell. Taste starts also with a lot of berriefruit, dark choco and coffee in the second row. Some whiskey barrel wood. Not so alcoholic as expected, but still warming. Great complex stuff.

Many thanks to Kappldav123 for sharing! Deep dry nose. The beer starts very sticky with lots of alcohol. Vanilla there, cocoa and hints of roasted coffee in the back. The woody bourbon is there, very rich and intense, very seep with a fantastic deep full roasted smooth fruity vanilla chocolate coffee body. Great!
