I went to The Lake Flying Saucer just to try this beer. It comes in a wax dipped 22 ounce bottle and is 10.8% ABV. The label reads: "Black Butte XXIII: Porter brewed with cocoa nibs, orange and natural flavor added with 25% aged in Bourbon Barrels." This is one rich beer! The dark roast flavor is up front and then you get the orange. They claim to have chiles in here and if you know me, I don't get essences of or hints of. So, sadly, I didn't get that, but I was LOVING me some of this beer.
On the side of the bottle it says, "Best After: 6/15/12". This beer can get better? WOW!
The only downside was the $22 price tag at the Flying Saucer, but I don't regret the purchase one bit.
