Cellared 12 oz bottle with a bottled on date of Oct. 2013,
Pours dark brown but looks black and opaque in the glass. A medim size tan head is quite creamy and has very good retention.
Aroma: very well balanced and pleasant blend of vanilla beans, dark bread, and light alcohol esters with hints of coffee and dark fruits.
Flavor: a generous amount of vanilla with a very natural flavor. Not so much vanilla as to mask the dark roasted grains nor some alcohol esters. Both the alcohol and the vanilla fade in the aftertaste leaving a gentle impression of dark, vanilla iced bread and coffee.
O: very enjoyable and definitely preferred over the smoked version.
