Deep, clear brown pour, appears opaque black in the glass; quick, fizzy, large head that quickly recedes to a light tan, fizzy ring inside the glass. Fantastic nose filled with notes of tobacco and dark dried fruits; cinnamon; dark chocolate. Stunning taste; dark chocolate; whiskey, rye spiciness; notes of cherry and dry figs; raisins; tobacco juice; cinnamon and star anise. Heavy body; slick with a slight syrupy quality; lots of alcohol warmth and heat, yet all nicely balanced; sticky.

Good gawd, but here is another dark beer wonder from Denver. What I find truly interesting is how balanced everything is for such a high ABV beer. The base beers and the multitude of barrels used to create this beer certainly pack a punch, yet it still presents a nice sense of balance with complexity. I certainly feel this beer, while already incredible on many levels, only will improve with a year or more of cellaring.

ABV: 22.1%; pouring temperature: 49.3 ℉; bottling info: 2026
