Out of production or in production? The 16 oz can I purchased from Half Time gives a canned on date of 3/15/24 just to pass along. There is a snifter in place to catch the pour and I proceed. The body is a lightish caramel-brown completed by a mostly steady head of taupe foam. The nose presents a scent of bread, malt and subdued toffee. The taste is much better. Figs to start with, toast, the toffee again, malt and plums. A decently presented American dubbel. The style is not easy to find, no Double Barrel this time but it is all right.

Draught @ The Ginger Man. Clear amber with large creamy off-white head, faint caramel malt aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter caramel malt taste with dried fruits, and alcohol undertones, smooth body, long caramel malt finish with alcohol aftertaste. A bit boozy.

Raisin, some smoke like you don't understand what you're drinking and florals. Good balance for style, though some imperfection in aftertaste. Amber red pour. Tap at Rattle n Hum.

Poured into a shaker showing smooth caramel brown with no foam. The nose shows sweet caramel malts. The palate is lightly carbonated and foamy. Very spicy with a strong alcohol front. A lot of seemingly sweet notes in the background despite being completely dry, with more notes of the light spice on the finish accompanied by a light bitterness.
