Bottle. Pours clear mahogany, minimal head or lacing. Aroma is rich, boozy, bourbon, cocoa, date. Flavor is quite sweet, medium bitter. Kinda hot. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Good of course, but not blowing me away.

Sample during "Farm Fest 2025 (Friday VIP)" on 07/04/2025. Brown-black pour with a medium thin light beige head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Sparse patches of lace. Aroma of bourbon, malt, dark chocolate and oak. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, roast malt, bittersweet chocolate and dark fruit. The finish is oaky with a malt and chocolate liqueur aftertaste. Very good all around.
