Ten years pass quickly. Time has a way of eroding, but it also has the power to improve. We persuaded time to work its magic on DECADEnce, a barrel-aged Imperial Stout brewed to celebrate our decade milestone. Rich roasted malt flavors commingle with toasted oak character for a luscious, midnight-colored brew.

From a 16oz can. Canned on 09/03/2024

This beer pours totally pitch black in color - no chance in hell of any light shining through the glass. There's a 2 finger brown colored head. The head retention for this beer is insane, considering it is 12% ABV. There's some damn good looking lacing on the glass when the head finally dissipates.
The aroma starts off with a dark roasted chocolate malt aroma. I am getting some licorice on the aroma. There's a lot of dark fruit hitting my nose, with plum being the main aroma note.
The beer hits me right away with dark fruit, and mainly plum flavor. This flavor doesn't leave my throat, and is added to with other flavors. I do get a hint of licorice that hits my taste buds. There's a wonderful dark, bitter, baking chocolate finish to this beer.
The body is interesting, but good. I am getting no burn on this beer from the ABV. There's a nice smooth feeling here. There's a bubbly feeling to this beer.
Well it's been a good 10 (now 11) years for Take 16. This is a great beer to celebrate this brewery.
