2014 version in January 2020. Surprisingly aged pretty well considering. No off flavors but preeettyy close. 6 months or a year more and might be a different story.

Pours very dark brown with a small head.
Nose shows fresh coffee, nutty malt, espresso and dark chocolate. Pretty awesome.
Flavours include espresso, dark chocolate, some sweetness, a fair bit of roast. Very drinkable despite being quite rich.

22 oz bottle. I get chocolate malts while still roasty. Real nice. Not so much coffee. Worth trying.

Pours a half finger of tan head on a black body.
The aroma is rich roasted malt, coffee, vanilla and cocoa.
The taste starts with coffee and dark chocolate bitterness, mellows into milk and toast. Nice.
The texture is softer with good fizz.
Enjoyable.
