adamjackson (794) – Canaan, New Hampshire, USA – NOV 1, 2012
2011 Vintage. Enjoyed at home at 60 Degrees F in a snifter.A – Dark midnight black viscous color. The head appears slowly and fades very fast. Mocha coffee colored head.S – Smells fantastic. Huge loads of vanilla and espresso beans with undertones of dark mocha chocolate.
T – Huge chocolate and vanilla bean taste. Lots of roasted malts notes and spicy chewy sweet licorice. The finish is coffee and charred oak akin to a cheap bourbon.
M – Thin mouthfeel, medium body and very little carbonation. Thin almost like scotch feels on the tongue.
O – This is pretty delicious. The surprising sweetness is out of nowhere and so is the thin mouthfeel. Lots of vanilla which is pleasant. Overall, falls short.
