Annoyingly sweet, coffee is basically non-existent. Overpriced. Pretty bad.

Very good, but it seems like they forgot the coffee. Doesn't taste overly boozy for a 17% beer.

Exceptional. Coffee is non existent. Has legs for sure. Molasses figs. Smoother then anythin else I have ever had at such a high a ABV. Hope this is release again

This appears to be a modest re-working of the Brewworks previous big stout release, Delusional. Released today (June 17. 2015) to much fanfare (at least locally) and available only at the Allentown location. This small batch likely will be gone before the night is over.

Like Delusional, the roast and coffee take a back seat as this offering is dominated by molasses and brown sugar notes in both the nose and the flavor profile. It is sticky and certainly sweet but the sweetness seems to be more muted than it was for the Delusional batch.

The alcohol esters have also calmed down considerably. This is one big beer that does not drink close to its ABV - which can be downright dangerous if someone is tempted to have a second or third pour of this tasty malt syrup.
