Wow!!! A remarkable beer for sure.2015 bottle with black wax, 12.4%abv.\nThis bottle is about a year old. I got it for Christmas last year. It has been in the refrigerator ever since. Pours a pitch black, virtually impervious to light. A minimal dark brown head reduces to virtually nothing. All I smell is chocolate. Loads and loads of chocolate. Lots of flavors here. Chocolate prevails, some raisins, touch of coconut, touch of molasses, nice dose of vanilla. Finishes with the slightest hint of bitterness, reminding me of bittersweet chocolate. A beautiful finish that lingers in my mouth, but the taste is so good I just don't want to swallow it. A well-done beer, and I am lucky that I live 10 miles away from the brewery! 10/28/16 Bomber 5 stars

Finally had a chance to try this on draft at cork city & it's worth the wait. Aged 15 months in bourbon barrels. Opaque black in color with a slight rim of tan head. Several complementary inviting aromas from dark chocolate, dark fruit like raisins, to vanilla and bourbon notes. Super smooth silky mouthfeel and medium to heavy in body, you know you are drinking a complex high abv beer that was crafted over time. Starts out with dark chocolate cocoa like flavors followed by a warming caramel and vanilla bourbon note ending with dark fruit fig & raisin flavors and a dry finish. A finely made expertly crafted sipping stout. Incredibly good!

Had the nitro and the vanilla, both are as good as original

Delicious!!!! Expect vanilla and caramel flavors with just enough bourbon flavor without overpowering the beer! I'd drink this all the time but the 13% factor would be a problem :)
