Gerbeer (5947) - Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 28, 2021UPDATED: DEC 28, 2021 2021 vintage. 500 ml bottle. Pours black with little head. Aromas of dark caramel, soft bourbon, chocolate nougat, vanilla, and slick roasted malts. Rich flavors follow same with lots of chocolate nougat and nice warming alcohol without being rough.
Strangebrewer (1910) - Chatham, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 7, 2021UPDATED: DEC 7, 2021 bottle 2017. I was lucky enough to receive this as a gift and able to let it age until now. Poured dark opaque brown with a thin creamy tan head. Aroma of sweet dried fruit and vanilla, reminiscent of a fortified wine, I expected more. Full bodied, subtle carbonation, a thick textured mouthfeel with a warming alcohol finish. Flavour is very sweet and woody, notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, molasses, alcohol, and tobacco. A really nice beer, shared amongst 5 people since it's currently $24(Canadian) a bottle😬. I have the 2018 & 2019 aging a few more years.
Larry_Duffman (1031) - - DEC 5, 2021UPDATED: DEC 5, 2021 I poured it from the bottle into a tulip glass. It pours black with a tan head. The aroma is chocolate, coffee, wood, and alcohol. The taste is chocolate, coffee, smoke, wood, burnt sugar, and vanilla. This is an excellent sipping beer. There's a slight alcohol burn. It's very smooth considering the alcohol content though. It's tasty.
OnTheTrail (1006) - Alexandria, Virginia, USA - DEC 2, 2021UPDATED: DEC 2, 2021 Pours almost black. Good sized medium brown head. Aroma is espresso, chocolate, raisins, figs, pecans. Taste is soft slightly bitter chocolate, lots of dried dark fruit, burnt coffee. Maybe some burnt candy. Nice creamy smooth heavy mouthfeel. Lives up to the hype reasonably well, I guess? Definitely well made beer.
shotgun1431 (139) - franklin furnace, Ohio, USA - NOV 26, 2021UPDATED: NOV 26, 2021 Pours black with a small tan head. Very complex so I’m going to add the description from the bottle. “Notes of vanilla, toffee, chocolate, burnt sugar and dried fruit.” 14% and is still smooth and tastes wonderful.
BeerdedDave (3893) - Beckley, West Virginia, USA - NOV 2, 2021UPDATED: NOV 2, 2021 Black color; fantastic bourbon aroma; Amazing bourbon notes in the flavor along with rich caramel, bitter choclate, roasted malt, and vanilla with nice oak notes that com ethrough in a dry finsh that leaves a lingering warmth at the back of the mouth. Way smoother than a beer at this gravity has any right to be
mrpi (1) - - NOV 1, 2021 does not count UPDATED: NOV 1, 2021 Great flavors, yet not worth $27 per bottle. I would choose North Coast old Rasputin at $3.
mieszal92 (2373) - Gliwice, POLAND - OCT 13, 2021UPDATED: OCT 13, 2021 Caramel, coffee, overcarbonated, liquor. Missing something to be a renowned banger. 4.1
Cybuch (2548) - Muszyna, POLAND - OCT 8, 2021UPDATED: OCT 8, 2021 W aromacie czekolada, prażony karmel, sos sojowy. W smaku półgęste, mleczna czekolada, alkholowe. Aromat genialny, brakuje trochę wyleżakowania.
17wojownik (1425) - Krakow, POLAND - AUG 30, 2021UPDATED: AUG 30, 2021 Na krakowskim Beerweek Festival 06, w 2021 roku, 100 ml przelane z butelki dwoma kielonkami. Hm no potężny stout, pity już na dość zrobieniu. Bardzo mocny, słodki ale nie lepki, w sumie to już wykracza poza kategorie piwne.. Rodzyny i karmel, gęściutkie (zatem bezpianowe i bezwysyceniowe), ładna mieszanka kolorów i feeria barw. No ok, spróbowane, choć powinieniem był to skosztować w lepszych/wcześniejszych okolicznościach.
