Amazing!! Not too boozy compared to other ones I've had. Delicious chocolate finish



2013. Amazing, possibly the best beer I have had. It's very boozy, but in the best way. There are coffee notes, chocolate, bourbon, oak, but the most glorious note is the pronounced English toffee that lingers through the finish. Look forward to having it again next year. Had at Cam and Lynae's new apartment, bottle.



Chocolate and bourbon!!! Finishes with coffee and hints of vanilla and cherry. Big oak component. Boozy yet smooth



Moderate tan head sits atop of this black as night stout. The aroma is intoxicating and extremely complex. Bourbon, coffee, chocolate, oak, vanilla, dark fruits with almost a red wine aroma. Taste is even more complex and changes as it warms. Your taste buds will explode as you experience waves of red wine, then vanilla, then bourbon, then chocolate, then dark fruit, then coffee. You get something different at each sip. Lots of depth here. This is the best and most complex stout I have ever had. In my opinion it is better than both KBS and CBS. World class. So happy that I have a 2012 aging



Big body. Slight carb but still smooth. Coffee, chocolate, roasted malt. Alc is a bit harsh. 3.8



Batch #3. Wow this packs a punch, flavor, depth and alcohol. Very strong, rich and complex. It has the chocolate and coffee notes I expect from a good imperial, but the oak age adds a beautiful tannic finish and even a little sourness. The mouthfeel is thick and syrupy, it coats your lips and is easy to sip even though it is 12.5%.





Very intense beer! There are a lot of different flavors going on. The tasting notes by the brewer are pretty spot on: tobacco vanilla chocolate cherry roasty. The body is thick but smooth. I would recommend! Worth the money if you are wanting a unique beer experience! One of a kind beer
