Pours black with thick beige head, slight retention minimal lacing. Nose brandy, marshmallow, wood. Boozy, anise, molasses, cocoa. Slight oxidation but not an impairment. Full body and mild carbonation.

Big dried fruit flavor, thick, sweet, light oxidation.

Continues to please. Need more.

Big dried fruit, apricot, smooth, slight oxidation.

Good coconut taste on cocoa. Really enjoyed.

Perfection in a bottle

Amazing level of coffee. Stout might be fading a touch.

Wonderful body and taste

Great coffee abound. Love it still.

Simply perfect. Notes evident from each brewery. One of the best ales ever.

Perfectly aging. Reminds me of the good old days.

Tried after the mocha variant. Did not last as well. Oxidation present.

Great look, dark, small head. Nose almost non existent. Taste big on coffee, not huge on cocoa. Very dry.

Great barrel notes incorporated with the earthy base ale. Loved it

Good to have one on release but not a great one to age. Really good when young if you like hot barrel aged ale.

Sour with that mild lemongrass back end. Nothing spectacular. Enjoyable.

Superb. Perfect booze and beer balance. Held up with no relevant oxidation issues.

Fantastic! Hint of mushroom and light sourness. Carbonation dropped off but otherwise excellent.

Thin body but tasty stout. Nose full of bourbon, wood, and chocolate. Taste boozy, powder cocoa, sweet malts. Body could be fuller, still very enjoyable.

Seems to be a smoked malt. A bit oxidized but still good in general. A little mysterious.

Clear light yellow, not much carbonation, so minimal head, no lacing. Basil dominates the nose in a good way, hard to pick up the base funk. Taste balances the pineapple with the basil. The additions must been significant. Glad to had this one chance to drink this ale.
