Tasting at Matt’s
Dark amber color, almost brown, small frothy head. The aroma is rather nice, bourbon/oak, and a bit creamy; fresh wood. Round mouthfeel; the flavor is quite simple, caramel and toffee, mildly sweet, the hint of coffee is a downturn, the final is a bit woody.
Messy, drinkable but I wouldn’t get back to this again.

Hazy medium brown. Really sweet dulce de leche, some toffee, and the barrel contributes a stack and sweet buttery barrel notes.

Bottle - Touch of dark whisky and caramel. Deep brown with a light beige head. Nice toffee notes and a nice long finish. Decent.

22 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a slight reddish tinge and a small beige head. Aroma is super boozy, with loads of boozy whiskey upfront -- not really much else other than the barrels. Flavour is more diverse than that, with notes of whiskey barrels, alcohol, bready malt and some dry caramel. Based on the nose, I thought it'd be a booze bomb, but this is quite complex, with many layers. Very nice stuff.
