Bottle. Deep black with thin beige head… Aroma of rich creamy vanilla, dark chocolate, bourbon barrel… Flavor is vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted malts, light bourbon barrel. Reminds me a bit of a Bruery vanilla stout, barrel forward and a bit thin compared to others… Decent ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2022 Thick oily Black pour with a thin tan head and spots of lacing ….. aroma of mostly vanilla, cocoa, molasses, brown sugar, light oak and roasted malts…. Taste is of vanilla, chocolate, molasses, brown sugar, roasted malts, some spicy bourbon and light dry oak …. Abv is hidden well …. Mouthfeel is slick and oily ….. finish is slick with vanilla, light spices and brown sugar …. Definitely more on the pastry end, thankfully without the lactose …. Decent but not world class

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2021 Draft at Mekong. Pours black with very little khaki head. Leaves trace lacing in the glass. Not getting a ton of carbonation. Thick mouthfeel. Big bourbon and vanilla notes on the nose and tongue. Finished with a hint of sweetness.

UPDATED: DEC 9, 2021 12 ounce bottle. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of vanilla, chocolate, and barrel. Taste is vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and whiskey barrel. Perhaps just a bit too much vanilla for me.

UPDATED: DEC 7, 2021 From tap at Prairie. Black body with tan sheen. Very nice smooth vanilla, whiskey barrel, dark chocolate aromas. Smooth slick mouthfeel with soft carbonation.

UPDATED: DEC 7, 2021 12 oz. can from Arrow W&S - Mason. Pours dark brown to black in color with a small khaki colored head. The aroma and flavor have roasted malts, big chocolate, big creamy vanilla, fudge, full bodied, warming alcohol, coating mouthfeel, solid.

UPDATED: DEC 5, 2021 Very boozy aroma with dark fruit, toasted coconut and fresh vanilla. Ink black color with no head. Tastes like strong coconut and vanilla with a bitter, strange aftertaste. I didn’t like this as much as I thought I would.

UPDATED: DEC 4, 2021 Bottle to snifter, shared with the Mrs. Looks good; a virtually opaque dull black with bubbly dark beige head that dissipates into lacing fairly quickly. Smells RICH and malty with loads of chocolate, vanilla, and oak. Tastes like it smells, but even more vanilla-forward. Robust, but not overpowering. Mouthfeel is full-bodied, mildly to moderately warming,and pleasantly bitter. An intense but enjoyable sipper.

UPDATED: NOV 28, 2021 Black with a medium sized foamy dark brown head. Boozy with strong vanilla and chocolate fudge notes. Very long finish. Full bodied.
