750mL bottle at the brewery, 12/28/25, as pictured.
Fruity yeast with light dark malt influences of cocoa and fig. Adjuncts are tasteful and don't jump at you. Some cacao and light spice that could be cinnamon but it's folded in to the malt nicely. Not sure what oat whiskey smells like, but given the second use of the barrels, it also doesn't jump out at you. Just a general roundness of fruitiness tempered by roast and and spice.
Lighter-bodied with very fruity yeast and lots of cocoa, dark chocolate and cacao. Traces of cinnamon and everything is rather dry. Some fruity acidity on the finish, mixing with light roast. Don't really get any whiskey. Would definitely like a bit more body/texture, even if it's not quite thin, just very light. But it is only 6.7% and I'm glad it's nice and dry.
