Pour is pitch black with a small deep, dark brown/cinnamon head.
nose is a huge wave of bourbon, oaky vanilla, latte, toasted marshmallow
Taste is bourbon, vanilla, roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, irish cream - as promised. Excellent beer. Warming alcohol. Finished with bourbon soaked fudge.
Thick, chewy, creamy body.

Released 11/27/20; drank 1/17/21 @ the Yarchives.
Black appearance.
A violent pour yielded a nice dark tan head; minimal lace.
Rich vanilla, milk chocolate & faint raspberry notes in the nose.
Creamy medium mouthfeel.
Rich vanilla & milk chocolate flavors up front; mild notes of bourbon & raspberry on the finish.
This has a nice vanilla vibe, but is a bit thin. Good, not great.
