Score: 86
2013 vintage bottle served in a stemmed Mikkeller taster and enjoyed on 05/13/14.
Appearance: Pours a jet black color with minimal head that quickly and totally settles. No lacing or retention. Okay legs. 2.75/5
Smell: Tannic oak and winey Black Tuesday. Chocolate, vanilla, dark fruit and booze. Nose-apparent sweetness. 3.75/5
Taste: Wine/grapes infused with chocolate. Less sweet than Black Tuesday, and not cloying. Nice chocolatey finish. Hint of vanillla. Ashy roast, dark fruit and licorice too. 4/5
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, minimal carbonation. Sweet and tannic, but not as sweet as most Bruery stouts. Light alcohol warmth and booziness. 3.75/5
Overall: Solid and tasty, but nothing too special or can't miss. Mocha Wednesday was better, but this was probably more drinkable.
Cost: $40 for a 750 ml bottle.
