22oz bottle traded to me from G311. thanks vince! i didnt expect to land one of these, let alone a few! drank from my stone RIS snifter.

A- this pours out of the bottle looking the color of a cola. opaque body. a small coffee colored head forms on top and vanishes before my eyes. little to no lacing left behind, but it is a pretty big beer. forgiven....

S- the first thing i pick up in the nose is roasted malts. some milk and dark chocolate are up next. light vanilla...must be from the oak staves? coffee at the end. a little bit of alcohol sneaks through, but much less than youd expect in something this large.

T- the taste starts out with some dark roasted malt like i could smell. very strong. after that i pick up on plenty of chocolate. both milk and dark. the vanilla from the mock barrel aging plays very well with the chocolate. coffee/espresso at the end. once again, just a little bit of alcohol shines through.

M- the body is a little on the light side. were it thicker....man, this would be on another level. moderate warming from the otherwise well hidden booze. a nice low level of carbonation.

O- very enjoyable. im told this sample was fresh, i cant wait to check back in in a couple of years. thanks again for sending this to me Vince, its worth the hype. check it out.

Pitch black inky body with a nice 1/2" of sandy colored head.

The smell has a lot of chocolate malt. I also pick up black licorice and a piney hop and a little bit of cola.

The flavor is very vivid and robust. Heavy with the chocolate with supporting flavors of anise, wood, and piney/earthy hops. There's also a nice taste of coffee.

Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Low carbonation lends to the full and creamy body.

This was a fantastic stout. It has incredible depth in the flavor. The 12.5% is noticeable but it's still smooth for such a big beer.
