Can at BBT 2/2022. Med-full body, quite high warmth, bordering on unpleasant. Med-high carbonation. The rather high alcohol defines this beer, effect of the barrels seems to just amplify the warmth rather than add to the complexity. There is lots of dark malt character, it just fails tu shine. Finishes really just burning. All of this directly contradicts the commercial description, so I just feel like it is cheating. TOP 50, whatever.
