Bottle shared by WillRunForBeer--thanks, Brian! Opaque, dark brown with nice viscosity ring of head. Aroma is strong caramel, bourbon, hint of dark fruit, oak. Taste is strong caramel, dark fruit, oak, bourbon. Relatively thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Good strength, complexity and balance.

Bottled 2019, #891/1000, shared by Willrumforbeer on 8/9/25.
Thanks, Brian!
Clear mahogany, small, tan head.
Caramel, bourbon, light floral notes and moderate oak. Light chocolate light raisin. No booze.
Raisin, prune, vanilla and sweet bourbon with lots of pepper and soft caramel. A bit punchy-oaky with tons of lead. Not sweet, though. Very austere.

0.75L bottle pours with a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin ring of tan bubbles. The aroma offers up molasses and dates blended with sweet bourbon and then a variety of reduced sugars steeped in booze. The taste delivers smooth sweet slick malts, molasses and prunes flowing toward smooth supple sweet bourbon. To midway and into the finish notes of caramel candy, sweet earthy and subtly spicy dates and a fair amount of boozy heat join in to take this to a rewarding conclusion. Really nice sipper. Wow!
