Sounds yummy but not available here in Europe - well maybe next time I'm in the US.
Got a tip for us?

Sounds absolutely delicious, but, as @decafjava has pointed out, not something we are likely to come across in Europe.The flavor profile is beyond delicious. You get the bourbon barrel aging that sneaks through and of course the Chocolate. The chocolate, while it is there, it isn't over the top, it is there and it is velvety good. Don't get me wrong, I love their Black Tuesday... but this one, edges out the Black Tuesday by a nib of cocao!
As it warms up, this one really shines through. The flavors become more pronounced. So good!
What was the abv?
Oh the ABV on it is high... 19.7 plus or minus depending on the year. This was a 2021 version, sorry, not a 2023 version. It was cellared and aged. I have had this fresh and aged. The kicker is, you don't get the alcohol "burn" if you will since it is so high. Just like their Black Tuesday offerings, they have mastered the barrel aging process. Mastered!
I don't think they ship oversees as I know they just opened up a few more distribution sites here within the States.
Well, to a considerable extent, it has been a 'dry' week, (by choice) and thus, it is high time to remedy that deficiency.
Thus, I am now sipping a glass of Chardonnay from the Pays d'Oc, in southern France.

Sipping a superb beer from Belgium: The outstanding Trappistes Rochefort 8, a legendary Trappist beer.
The Weihenstephaner brewery comes good yet again: Am sipping their invariably excellent Hefeweizen Dunkel.
We moved into our new home last year and I finally got to some of the last boxes and found these.

They shall be consumed by week’s end.

General advice for the future of humanity.....drink more Guinness! 😍

As far as Guinness is concerned, I find that I have come to prefer their export stouts (such as Guinness Foreign Extra) which have a little more heft.
In general, I find myself in agreement with this sentiment.
Am currently sipping, savouring and hugely enjoying an absolutely lovely white wine from Burgundy: Chablis 1er Cru, Grand Vin de Bourgogne.
Drink. And drink. And drink. It lubricates our humanity. For those of us who can’t really contribute, self improvement is vanity. Self destruction is our integrity, an apology for not being good enough. And a love of the human spirit. We are all fallen, let passion destroy you. Celebrate being human.
Well, yesterday was my birthday.
I thought that that (day, event, fact) deserved to be saluted with a good Burgundy.
Well happy (belated) birthday! The burgundy was surely a good choice.
P.S. My birthday is on Monday.
Thank you.
I love - just love - have I mentioned how much I love? - a good Burgundy.
Please permit me to extend warm birthday greetings to you in advance of your actual birthday.
Sipping a glass (or three) of Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru, a white wine, from the Burgundy region, in France.
This is a superb, a wine with a gloriously buttery profile, rich, yet smooth, subtle and perfectly balanced.
The grape is Chardonnay, and, for those used to the versions of Chardonnay found in the New World, (some of which I will readily concede are actually excellent), I cannot recommend the classic Burgundies of France highly enough if you want to taste classic excellence, grace married to a subtle buttery expression of power.
