A collaboration with Great Notion Brewing. They began by aging a decadent base in Willett and Buffalo Trace barrels for 38 months, then hit it with "a colossal amount of macadamia nuts, coconut, cacao, and Madagascar vanilla beans."

Look - Pours a beautiful super dark black color, with a small dark brown head that goes away after about a minute. A small new head appeared when swirled.

Smell - Cacao, coconut, macadamia nuts, and bourbon.

Taste - Bourbon, cacao, and light macadamia nuts and vanilla. I'm not really tasting the coconut, but the flavor is nice.

Feel - I couldn't find the ABV on the bottle, but if it's 17% like both Beeradvocate and Untappd say, it's nicely subdued. An easy drinking stout with a nice creamy feel. I finished the bottle before I knew it.

Overall - This is a very nice stout. I felt the flavor was a bit lacking on the macadamia side (I've never had a beer where the macadamia was easy to taste), but very good.
