16.9 ounce wax capped bottle, purchased at the brewery when visiting there with Brutaltruth a few months ago. No bottle dating that I noticed on the label or bottle. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with not quite an inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both decent. The brew smells like roasted malt, vanilla, banana, dark chocolate and some bourbon. Taste is pretty much the same as the aroma, but there's also some dark bread and coffee flavors noticeable too. To me the cocoa and banana stand out, but without overpowering the other flavors. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's slick and smooth with a moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this one, glad I got to try it!
