\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t trade for or try the 2012 version of this. As I understand it, Bruery RS members received 1 or 2 bottles in their allocations so the trade value was something like a Hill Farmstead Damon or 2 Beatification for 1 Grey Monday which is too rich for my blood. In 2013, RS members could order up to 4 of these with 1 included so I maxed out my allocations and figured we\u2019d try this fresh since there were a few people at my house on New Years Eve. I had two glasses of it which wasn\u2019t the best idea but it\u2019s a very nice beer. To me, it\u2019s better than Chocolate Rain and Black Tuesday but I would say only marginally better than CR. I\u2019d pick it over the other 2 but the limited nature of this and cost means it\u2019s still a beer that should trade highly but not as high as last year\u2019s version. There\u2019s more of this floating around but $40 is a lot for a single bottle of beer.<\/p>\n

Apologies for the not so nicely formatted notes.<\/p>\n

Very weird hazy black but with brown side tones. seems incomplete like lots of sediment. Nose is nice. Just a crap load of hazelnut like way more than I\u2019ve ever picked up in a beer. Chocolate all there. like a candy coffee taste. The ABV is very well hidden..ooh the finish has a lot of burn though. wow. the nuttiness is like sweet pecans or walnuts..obviously hazelnut but it\u2019s a very nutty beer. Lots of vanilla. dark fruits. creamy lactose<\/div>\n
