16 oz. can, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of bourbon barrel, tons of toffee, brown sugar, and caramel—not much hops, maybe some toasted nuts. Flavour is very sweet, into cloying territory, with intense caramel, brown sugar, butterscotch, and some molasses. There’s some barrel here but it’s buried. Too sweet, which conceals some complexity. Good complexity but difficult to drink in more than a couple ounces. Needs tweaking.

Deep coppery brown colour with a small brown head. Aroma is dried fruits, some figs, plum, mild vanilla and oaked tones with sweet malts and some mild alcohol sweetness too. Flavour is dried fruits, some alcohol, a bunch of toffee and some plum and figs as well as a wee bit oaked tones.
