Wasn't a huge fan of it fresh, a little thin and hot, but a year of age made it smooth, creamy and balanced.

Phenomenal. Rich deep toasted malt flavor with a fantastic blend of coffee, chocolate, oak, and alcohol tones. Complex but beautifully balanced and thick but extremely smooth.

So much oak, bourbon, and chocolate. This is a sweet and smooth beer with an extremely long finish.

Good coffee and chocolate notes

Just barely note the alcohol taste at 13%. Verges on a strong Scottish ale.
