A lot of mescal, a bit roasty and smoky. Moderately thick, a bit fruity. Pleasant.

Dark brown, bubbly head. Lots of smoke, cactus and chocolate. Light body for style, the mezcal lending smoke, lending juiciness. Good chocolatey base.

Bottle. Quite interesting. Pours clear near black, large bubbly tan head, great lacing. Aroma is slightly smoky, roasted malts, molasses. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter, light smoke. Medium body.

Tap at Drunk Uncle. Not really so familiar with Mezcal but I get the cactus tone sort of. Honey candy barrel sweetness too. Unique enough, but not a beer I'd really want to revisit. Cedary. OK.

2020 from bottle to tulip. Pours very deep brown with moderate dark brown head that slowly fades to a cap over the top, and collar of varying bubbles. Booze dominates the nose with the mezcal showing well. Also with dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Flavor is booze and chocolate. Really nice. Chalky finish and is really dry. This barrel is different than anything I have had in the Eclipse series and really fun. Wish I had more.

Shared by beastie: pours black with beige head. Aroma is dark chocolate, mezcal notes, some coffee. Taste is robust, not boozy, lightly bitter, mellow barrel.

Dark brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a herbal element. Bit of liquorice. Sweetish begin. Later it's all roasted malts. Burnt. Boozy. Rich. Woody.
