I only received 1 bottle of this batch as a part of the Collected Works great. Kicking myself for not driving up to Hill Farmstead 3 times in a month to grab a few more of this amazing beer. Bottled 06/2013, sampled 12/2013. Probably enough age to finally open and sample this beer. I’ll say that I loved the Madeira version but was not wowed by it. Curious how this differs.A – Completely pitch black. Looks very similar to Madness & Civilization or Everett. Pitch black, looks oily but pours non-thick. 2 finger express colored head that fades fast. I was able to put all 500ML in a single Hill Farmstead stemware..I don’t advise that but it’s possible.

S – The first thing I get is coffee….waves and waves of it! Just espresso mocha bean frappuccino coffee. There’s vanilla, cocoa and a definite booziness from the bourbon barrels. I would say it’s Eagle Rare / Buffalo Trace but I’m not a bourbon expert.

T – The three dominant flavors are Vanilla, Espresso beans and Chocolate Milk. Oak and tootsie roll sweetness persist. I get a mineral slate aspect an sugary dark fruits like rich dried figs.

M – Sticky and hangs around for hours after each sip. My teeth are covered with sugar. Full bodied and just enough booze to let you know what’s up.

O – This is really a 10% beer? This is either a BA, sweet Everett or a weak damon. Really seems bigger in ABV than the description states.
