From the brewer
Every year, we celebrate our anniversary with an imperial, barrel-aged version of our flagship Black Butte Porter. This year, to celebrate 29 years, of brewing, we’ve added Chocolate Malt, cocoa and cinnamon for another multi-layered flavor experience.

Lots of bourbon sweetness up front, with a bit of prickle from cinnamon but not overt flavor. Not too much to say that I didn't say last time.
This year's Black Butte anniversary used cocoa and cinnamon as the main flavor notes, which was a great idea. On the sweet side but of all the anniversary Black Buttes I've tried this was the best tasted young, by far. Not too poky on the new flavors, but enough to offset the strong alcohol and flavor. Really appreciated not having any sour or fruity undertones this year, too.
