375ml bottle at share. Near black pour, flat, oily. Vanilla peeks out of the aroma just above chocolate, sweet. Taste brings an almost syrupy feel, sweet, vanilla, chocolate, deep, slick, latent booziness.

Poured from a bottle at fridge temp. Pours a very thick black with no head. The nose is full of an insane amount of vanilla. Followed by chocolate, rye, marshmallow, and biscuits.
The taste is pretty great. VERY vanilla forward - almost a bit too much for me. Almost tastes like I'm sipping on vanilla extract. There is some bitterness mixed with sweetness here. This all calms down a bit after a few minutes, and some other amazing flavors emerge. Fudge, truffles, marshmallow, oak, slight coffee, some roasted malts, and brown sugar. Rye notes thread things together.
The mouthfeel is very thick and creamy. The aftertaste is vanilla, vanilla, and more vanilla.
