4.2 2016. Fajnie intensywnie czekoladowe, kakaowe, dość słodkie, ale nie tak cukrowe, złożone i w tle kawowe, alkohol grzeje ale przyjemnie i jak na te moc to dobrze schowany, gładkie, bardzo dobre.

3.9 butelka 2017. brązowe, klarowne, generalnie bez piany. potężny kawowy aromat, wymieszany z burbonem, czekoladą i kakao. wyraźny, mega wciągający. po ogrzaniu lekki tytoń. w smaku alkoholowe, czekoladowe, alkoholowe goryczka na finiszu, kawowe, za młode. aromat świetny, ale piwo musi poczekać. ma potencjał

4.1 2017 release with 19.9%abv. @: Pours black opaque with no head. Mocha, tmalts, vanilla, woody tannins, bourbon...

4.2 750 ml bottle into snifter, bottled on 1/27/2017. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy khaki head with decent retention, that reduces to a thin ring of lace. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big nutty dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, vanilla, cream, fudge, brown sugar, maple syrup, almond, bourbon, toasted oak, and dark bread; with lighter notes of coconut, marshmallow, molasses, licorice, smoke, dark fruit, pepper, and roast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt, coffee, and bourbon barrel notes; with great strength. Mild increasing booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Taste of huge nutty dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, vanilla, cream, fudge, brown sugar, maple syrup, almond, bourbon, toasted oak, and dark bread; with lighter notes of coconut, marshmallow, molasses, licorice, smoke, dark fruit, pepper, and roast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate bourbon/oak spiciness and light roast/char bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of nutty coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, vanilla, cream, fudge, brown sugar, maple syrup, almond, bourbon, toasted oak, dark bread, coconut, marshmallow, light licorice/molasses/dark fruit, and roast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roasted malt, coffee, and bourbon barrel flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet and bourbon/oak spiciness balance; with zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from bourbon/oak spiciness and roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and very full body; with a smooth, creamy/silky, and lightly slick/sticky/chalky/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Lightly increasing warmth of 19.9%, with mild lingering barrel booziness after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic barrel aged imperial stout! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roasted malt, coffee, and bourbon barrel flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on slowly for the huge ABV. Bruery stouts always seem to have a class of their own on the flavor profile. Not as deeply roasty or charred on black/roasted malts like some others; but still extremely rich and complex. Outstanding barrel integration and balance; without feeling overly boozy, tannic, or drying. Very similar to the base beer with big levels of fruity/nutty coffee complexity. A highly enjoyable offering.

4.0 Bottle: Poured a black brown with red edges and off white head. Aroma is huge sticky alcohol sweet bourbon. Taste is sweet malty Mocha chocolate and alcohol burn.

4.3 On tap at E9. Pours black. Thin tan head. Scent is coffee avs alcohol. Taste is very sweet, boozy. Coffee flavor is pretty strong. 19% is covered up petty well. Very good beer.

3.2 Bottle at Mikeys Christmas party Pours black with a small tan head. Dark malts, chocolate and coffee Not sweet as Black Tuesday, which is good.

3.2 750ml bottled 12/2015 shared by beersnake Tim at 1. Adventstasting, merci. - Muscovado-saturated Kahlua triple hit with a double throatburn to close off any blind tasting in unsubtle Californian boldness. - Aroma of espresso-soured bourbon chocolate in a caramel sugar rimmed glass. Wafts of meaty (game) umami and tobacco. - Further late night perceptions: almost typically, the layers here are horizontal, paratactical, adjunctive: coffee + bourbon + sugars + barrel amount to: just that, no real transcendence or fermentational depth/mystery to be had, even if the craft of adding all elements is an obvious mastery. - Enjoyable in a small sipping shot jenever glass, like a choco jenever. Dusty traces of ashy cacoa powder and faint oak dust over what is otherwise a bourbon-doused candy bar. - Looking for the art/revelation where the light gets into this adjunct dark hole is a mission bound to fail, and that is my confessional beef with beers like these.

3.8 Bottle @ Bruery Bonanza 2017. Coffee, cocoa nibs & plenty of booze in the nose. Sweet, bitter, malty & tiny fruity taste. Round, tiny syrupy & boozy mouth. Off nose with all mediocre coffee & booze but it tastes great.

3.7 2017. Pours see through black with a big brown head. The aroma is big bourbon and coffee. The palate is thin. The taste is big coffee. Has a boozy burn to it. Some vanilla and dark fruits. Decent Imperial BA stout.

4.2 backlog PAKK 2017 - W przeciwieństwie do PB&Thursday alko o wiele lepiej schowane, likier mocha-czekoladowy, ulepek. W zasadzie każdy łyk wypada popić wodą, jest tak gęsty że żołądek nie nadąża trawić. Chyba jedna jedna z najbardziej likierowych konsystencji...250 ml trudne do ogarnięcia...dobrze że pod ręką mieliśmy gorące kartacze z mięsem :)

4.1 W aromacie sporo kawy, czekolady i pralin. W smaku dość słodkie i lekko palone. Alkohol średnio ułożony i grzeje w przełyk, ale jest szlachetny. Bardzo mocne, a zarazem dobre piwo

4.1 Well it is interesing how coffee driven a beer can be. Despite an abv it is still a coffee imperial stout. Cocoa is still there and some dark fruit qualities. I kind of dig it.

4.0 Rami Rami is drinking a Mocha Wednesday (2016) by The Bruery at Saska Kępa Figi, migdaly, karmel, czeko i sporo kawy. Ale jeszcze nie poukladane, pieczace. Na lezak. I tak robi wrazenie.

4.3 Chocolate (cocoa) coffee and alcohol. All is good in the world 😋😋.

4.2 Dégustée à l'été 2017 (De mes notes). Merci MAM et Étienne .

4.1 Alkoholowe i to bardzo, kawa wyraźnie wyczuwalna, w posmaku bardzo dominuje - takie mocne espresso. Raczej zero kwaskowatości od kawy. Gdyby nie ten alko byłoby bardzo dobrze, choć ta kawa tak nie powala. Słodycz mega.

3.9 Barwa czarna, piwo nieprzejrzyste, piany brak. Aromat intensywnie kawowy, espresso, zapach świeżego ziarna, w tle gorzka czekolada, kakao i alkohol. W tle nuty bourbonu W smaku mniejsza pełnie niż w innych wersjach Black Tuesday. Gorzka czekolada, kakao i wybijająca się świeżo parzona kawa. Alkohol wyraźnym lekko gryzący gardło, finisz bourbonowy.

4.2 pours pitch black, no head. Strong coffee, than more fruits, bourbon, vanilla, coconut, cocoa. Less body than chocolate rain, distinct alcohol which warms throat.

5.0 Perfection! The smell is rich, it’s thick and warm, with rich chocolate, and surprisingly smooth for being 19,4% alcohol. The winner of this bottle share—hands down!

4.2 Dark brown, no head, very dense. Aroma: alcohol, coffee, vanilla, bourbon, chocolate, dark fruits. Full body, very sweet. Lighter body than black tuesday, coffee present, hut not dominating

3.9 BCTC. Pours a deep brown to black. Coffee, warm bourbon. Medium bodied, soft cocoa, coffee, bourbon. Long bourbon and cocoa.

4.1 Bottled. 2016 vintage. Pours murky brown chestnut. White head. Aroma is bourbon, booze, caramel, toffee, raisin, molasses, nice. Flavor is raisin, booze, caramel, bourbon, toffee, molasses, dark fruit galore. fig. Very much a barely wine-esque beer. Solid as hell.

4.0 Lots of toffee and chocolate in the aroma. Pours caramel brown in color and is thick like motor oil. Get lots of toffee, dog and barrel. Some light coffee I. There as well. Hides the abv very well. Excellent stout.

3.9 Keg at Ratebeer Best Beer Festival. 31/01/2016. a dark caramel brown colured pour with reddy hues, no head. Aroma is nice raw coffee bean, big fresh brewed coffee, brown sugars.

4.5 (The Bruery Mocha Wednesday) Bottle 750 ml at home, served into a snifter, ABV 18.6% Black coloured body, small dark beige head on top, low retention. Aroma of chocolate, coffee grounds, green peppers, alcohol, light vanilla, light soy sauce. Taste is sweet, lots of chocolate, fudge, alcohol, nice coffee notes without the green peppers now, plenty of alcohol, vanilla, light roasted character. Thick, full body, biting carbonation, sticky on the palate. Very good!

4.9 Pour is a still dark, unfiltered looking. Smells of licorice, maple, brown sugar, and deep chocolaty fruit. Tastes first of light chocolate fruit, sour unripe fruits and salty and coffee in the aftertaste. Long residual salty and chocolate aftertaste.

4.2 .Bottle thanks to Alex. Pours dark chocolate brown with a light brown head. Sweet malted milk balls and mocha latte. Viscous mouthfeel. Very sweet but smooth non boozy finish. Well hidden 19% beer
