2021 bottle. Pours dark, reddish brown, with a small, beige head. The aroma is peat smoke, brandied cherry, leather, toasted oak, cloves, and vanilla. Dry and malty, with a mellow, earthy bitterness. Medium to heavy body, syrupy, grainy, and velvety. Nice and complex, with a lot of barrel notes and depth.

On draft at the brewpub. Pours a dark cola with an ecru head. Aromas of toffee and bit of black licorice. Flavors are moderately sweet caramel with a slight hop bitterness. Pretty tasty.
