This breathtaking shrine to darkness was built with a blend of 6 base beers: Monsters' Park, Modem Tones, Mega Devil's Teeth, Oblivion Ring, Dragon Mask, & Infinity Gauntlet. This mega-mélange was aged in 6 barrel types: bourbon, Kentucky whiskey, rye whiskey, California brandy, port, and rum. As if that weren’t enough, we then infused it with Mostra Coffee Beans, Dominican cacao nibs, split Mexico, Veracruz, & Madagascar vanilla beans, toasted almonds, and toasted coconut. Expect a full bodied stout with an epic amount of coconut, a strong coffee nose, and a rich milk chocolate bar finish. So, yeah. It’s pretty serious.

Just popped mine open, obviously infected, too bad I couldn't experience it. I think I have another bottle in my cellar but I'm assuming it will be the same given it came from the same batch.

Medium khaki color head. Subtle coffee aroma with nuts. Tasted of light barrel character a sweet coffee and milk chop plate finish. Thick mouthfeel that coats the mouth. I’ve read some reviews of this beer being infected, this wasn’t the case for me. One of the best coffee stouts I’ve had.

From bottle. Deep brown color. Limited head with lacing. Smell was a bit vegetal. Taste was coffee with a bit of fruit. Think this was on its way to infection, but hadn't quite crossed that line. As it got warmer, it got worse.

poured from a 22oz bottle into a snifter. pours jet black. minimal head. smell is peppery green coffee, chocolate and whiskey barrels. taste is a straight chocolate bomb. it’s a lot going on. there’s some sweet coconut, spicy coffee and barrels and tons of chocolate. mouthfeel is spectacular. full and low carb. overall, (and again) it’s a lot going on but this is tasty as all get out.
