750mL blend #2 at Brewing, 2/17/24. Clear, dark, dark amber. No head at all. Spicy nose if you want to be kind. Otherwise, very sharply alcoholic. Bready, light soy. Lots of oxidation and phenolic yeast. In the mouth it fares similarly. Heavy bread, light alcohol, heavy phenol and just a rather uninteresting oxidized malt character with lightly syrupy sweetness and very low carbonation. Not sure why this oxidized so incredibly heavily (or maybe 5 years isn't that unexpected for this level), but it's tough to drink much of it.

Draft. A- Malt, bourbon, raisin, leather, cocoa, dark fruits. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, beige head. T- Bourbon, leather, mild tobacco, mild smoke, treacle, caramel, prunes, slightly woodsy, brown sugar, cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- Blend #2. Unbelievably tasty. This was wildly complex. So much lucious treacle with a full dark fruit flavor such as raisins and prunes and a nice rich leathery tobacco flavor. Everything just falls together and make for an outstanding ale.

750ml bottle pours a thick, translucent dark brown/black with some clumpy, grey head. Big malt nose, huge brown malts and caramel, dried dark fruits, prunes, treacle, some roast, plenty of barrel too. Syrupy in the mouth, lots from the malt, but plenty of vanilla and caramel now from the barrel. Finishes full bodied, boozy and sweet.
