Dark brown, depth of fruit, light roasty accent from the stout, robust barrel, deep and rich bw fruitiness. Excellent.

Shared with Josh during our trip to Festival of Dark Arts 2026.
Aroma: some oak and sweetness, dark fruits, a bit smokey.
Taste: very fruity, some roasted malts, whiskey notes.
Overall: on the thin side for current days, but it's nicely made and pretty complex.
