2012 Vintage. Acquired this today at the Lawson\u2019s Market in Waitsfield. It was great to see Sean and team! Enjoyed in a small Duvel Tulip at room temperature. New format is 375ML for $15. Red wax top.A – Poured a thick and viscous midnight black. No head aside from a fine and thin later of coffee coloured bubbles around the edge of the glass. Amber hues but overall, midnight oily black. Not as viscous as a BCBS but quite heavy.<\/p>\n

S – There\u2019s a lot going on here but overall, the nose is weaker than I expected. There\u2019s a lot of peat and charred oak. Lots of burnt wood, a very small hint of vanilla and molasses.<\/p>\n

T – The start taste is very much a roasted toffee malts with hints of espresso beans and very dry baker\u2019s chocolate.The middle is a very oaky sort of smokey peat taste. The finish is this boozy bomb of vanilla, oak, bourbon and heavy maple syrup sweetness like brown sugar.<\/p>\n

M – Heavy body, very low carbonation but it\u2019s this tongue covering thick oaky beer that sticks to every aspect and leaves a tingling sensation loaded with vanilla and coffee beans.<\/p>\n

O – This was a great beer but I remember the 2011 being better. I\u2019m no expert on stouts but there\u2019s this balance that\u2019s missing from the 2011…that vintage was less oaky and smoky. I have more of this so maybe it just needs some time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
