On tap at The Church by The Lost Abbey, pours black with a tiny head. Aroma is complex, with plenty of big bourbon barrels, wood, and roast in wonderful cohesion. Flavour is complex, with deep, complex, elegant wood dominating from the bourbon barrels; there’s subtle layers of smoke, vanillin, char, etc. Fairly limited residual sweetness. Cohesive and wonderfully blended. Still holding up real well after the years.
