4.66/5 rDev +18.9% look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.75 Approximately two year old bottle A - Brown with light white head S - Dark fruits and prominent Calvados T - Really good strong dark stone fruits (raisin, plum, prune) as in other excellent BSDAs which are very much enhanced by the Clavados - excellent flavor M - Nice, sticky O - Exceptional BSDA

Excellent - Preferred the 2012 to the 2014 in blind tasting (even sweeter)

Excellent but Preferred the 2012 to the 2014 in blind tasting (even sweeter)

4.25 Great scotch ale

still great

Still strong coffee flavor

very good, very smooth, no bitterness at all

excellent coffee and chocolate, but a slight bitterness at the finish - is there a sweet spot where this dies off before you lose the coffee too much?

4.58/5 rDev +0.4% | Avg: 4.56 look: 4.75 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5 Fresh as possible - 4/1 release, purchase and consumption A - Super black with a tremendous tan/brown head S - Very strong and pleasing coffee and chocolate T - Delicious with coffee flavor dominance, very slight bitterness at the finish F - Thick and oily O - Fantastic coffee stout - results meet the hype. Lucky enough to have landed 11 more that I'll consume over time (up to one year unless it starts lose too much coffee).
