2018 edition - bottle no. 290. Dark amber colour, fairly clean (slight haze at last pour) with a copper hue. The head is beige, frothy with good retention and wavy foamy lacing. Definitely molasses in the nose with caramel base, brown sugar and mild smokiness from the burnt wood. Alcohol is also noticeable and some dark fruit notes do appear from time to time. Pretty smooth mouthfeel with flavours that are milder with the molasses, sugars and barrel. Nothing too exceptional, but for the style, is quite nice, well-balanced and drinkable.
