Thick, syrupy, sweetish, boozy. Malty, chocolate and bourbon, vanilla from the barrel, rich and smooth. Delicious.
Complex, slightly roasty and intense barrel heavy chocolate sauce, some vanilla, oaky wood, thicc body and cocoa. Great stuff.

750mL bottle drunk 1/16/25.
Clear, dark, little head.
A bit less char and spice than the 2020 I just had. Fruitier, softer, a shade more oxidation. Maybe a bit more approachable if maybe a little less stupendously spicy-bourbon-rich. No booze. Good balance without any big sugar or huge fudge. Lots of pepper, moderate roast, light vanilla-like barrel notes.
Soft, juicy, with plum and big spice. Syrupiness almost completely gone from the texture yet still it's full bodied and with good attenuation. Sweet but attenuated. Comforting, mellow, with low but still appropriate carbonation. No alcohol. Elegant. Soft spice lingering.

Bottle shared at the Chania New Year’s Whale Share, 2022. Black with barely any ring brown head. Aroma of big woody oak barrel upfront with dark chocolate, fudge, caramel, tobacco notes, bourbon, vanilla, light coconut. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with a thick texture, alcohol warmth and soft carbonation.
