Bottle pours black with a low dark brown head and good lacing.
Aromas of fig, sweet chocolate, and cherries. There is a boozyness and toasty notes with hints of coffee.
Flavors are strong sweet maltyness, sweet dark fruit (fig, cherries and dates), coffee, notes of vanilla and oak. Feel the bitterness and dry hoppyness on the toung. Hints if toffee...subtle creme brulee notes!
Finish; Big!...sweet!...Dark fruit! Coffee hits first with chocolate notes, sweetness comes in and stays throughout. Dark fruit dominate in the middle and to the end. The barrel come in towards the end. This is a big beer...aging might mellow it out...but might just make it sweeter! I'll find out in two, three and four years!!!...or more.
