Notes:

INSANE! Wax dipped bottles and let age for the rest of the year. Beer was excellent. Slight heat from ABV, chocolate... vanilla. Definitely a treat

Tasted on 3/24/2017 by 23152

Notes:

The beer hasn't been carbonated yet, but has been in a 5 gal glass carboy aging for 2 months. I took a sample just to try it....... I honestly can't believe how good it tasted. It smelled rich and hot. The flavor was amazing. Chocolate, vanilla, and rum all stood out and blended very well. This is comparable if not better than Heretics Incubus.
