Amazing beer. The base beer is solid but the cocoa was truly on point with this one. As it warmed it improved with each sip.

2015 ANTEAD set.
Dark brown body with a thin, beige collar of broken bubbles. Aromas of oak, bourbon, baking fudge. The flavor brings brownie batter, fudge, wet oak barrels. So good. Just like the regular with added complexity. Outstanding.

Thanks a ton, Casey! 2015 version. Never thought i'd see this in a hurry.
Black with a thin, dark brown head, this looks solid. The nose is pretty much just cocoa - heavy, rich, sweetened cocoa, mildly dusty and very flavorful. Along with that, there's a little roast and caramel, maybe even some bourbon and vanilla, but the cocoa just whelms it. This becomes clearer on the palate where this is dominated by the sweetened cocoa flavors bringing to mind dark chocolate syrup. Caramel and a little vanilla are noticeable too. Surprisingly thin on the palate, this beer is soft and creamy on the palate. An impressive beer, one I'd like to revisit.

Strangely, this was my least favorite of the 2015 ANTEAD variants, while it had been my hands-down favorite from 2014. Still a tremendous beer, just not as silky smooth as the 2014 version.
