Thanks! Sampled draft @ Billie’s Beer Festival 2018. Day 1. Dark amber. Nose is sweet bourbon but also some oxidation walnut, sugar. Taste is oxidation, alcoholic, boozy, sugar, walnut,… Oxidized syrup. Good but they took it a bit too far.

375ML. Dark red raisin. 1 finger head. AFH thanks for the bottle(s)! smells like a raisin and toffee cake. little bits of brown sugar and maple syrup. Well aged. a little bit of cardboard present...extremely biter finish. couldn't handle this one fresh. has a lot fo imperial IPA flavors going on.
