A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 23rd May 2024. Poured into a snifter glass.

Appearance: Black in colour with pretty much no head and no lacing.

Aroma: Roasty, earthy, chocolate, coffee, oak, alcohol, with light herbal and tequila sweetness.

Taste: Roasty, sweet, boozy, chocolate, coffee, oak, tequila, light herbal and hints of bitterness on the finish.

Mouthfeel: Creamy, alcohol warming, full bodied with soft carbonation.

Overall: A very nice sipper with good barrel notes and alcohol well hidden even though it is 15% ABV.

Everything wanted from a tequila BA Stout, and a bit spicier.

Pours as thick as the other version, while producing a bit more head.

Smells of cocoa nibs, earthy malts and a well pronounced barrel bite. The barrel produces a milk-chocolate coated heat, together with a whiff of lemon and coffee.

Also has a fitting, low carbonation, perfectly revealing the beers full body. Drinks dangerously easy, hiding its abv very well, while offering a plethora of different flavors.

Tastes of bakers chocolate, oak and dusty earth, immediately wrapped up by tequila in all it facettes. Lemon, salt and a fruity, hot dryness blend into milk chocolate, more earth and oak. Also features unsweetened cinnamon tying tequila and the base stout taste together, creating an awesome, unique taste. Less sweeter than the Calvados version, while the barrel comes perfectly through, illustrated by the silk stout foundation. Ends quite dry, with lots of cream and peppery lemon, coated up by cinnamon and chocolate.

Wow, this leaves me stunned, exceeding all expectations. Perfectly integrates a high class Tequila in all its details, blending just perfectly into the stout part of the beer. To top this awesome melange off, the beer also features a good amount of cinnamon and warming barrel creating a fantastic complexity. Awesome mixture, perfectly executed, resulting in a breathtaking, fantastic balanced beer.

Jet black pour with a really small dark brown head, quickly reduced to a thin string.
Smells really good, like chocolate cake imbibed with tequila and brandy, rich roasted malts, lightly smoked plum, haw, vanilla, licorice, wood tannins. Really wanna get on with it.
Rich dark fruit jam (tons of fig, raisin, plum), molasses and creamy chocolate up front, fortified with flavorful fruit brandy and just hints of spicy tequila. Some Port wine notes too, licorice, faint anise and cinnamon. Malts get roasty, but not burnt, enhancing the dark chocolate flavor, finishing really strong. Hints of sweet coffee too. Rich barrel notes, woody, robust, but the alcohol is just warm.
There's not a big clear tequila note, more like apple and plum brandy, that lingers even in the aftertaste. So does some dark chocolate, a bit of roast and wood. Low carbonation, almost flat, quite gluey and slowly going down the throat. So quite a long finish and aftertaste.
An awesome sipping beer, really really tasty and smooth. A beer not to be missed.
