Richly robust (17% ABV) mahogany-hued Imperial Stout aged on Tahitian vanilla and Peruvian cacao gets draped in treacly dark chocolate syrup and retains caramelized bourbon whiskey warmth. Lactic milk-sugared honey thicket pervades moderately creamed vanilla-cacao conflux, gaining maple molasses-coated anise spicing and blackcurrant berry tartness as well as dried-fruited black cherry, prune and fig onrush to contrast wood-burnt hop char. Luscious chocolate babka, French vanilla coffee, dry burgundy and hazelnut cake illusions add further depth.
