Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a slight creamy tan head that did not persist. Aroma is mixed toffee and bourbon. Arguably full bodied. Flavor is dark toffee, bourbon and some small amounts of dark fruits and chocolate. Not dry but far from sticky. Not exactly bitter. The heat has to do the hop's work. Way to easy to drink for the ABV.

16 oz can poured (finally) after picking this up back when the celebration was still young. The party lives on Lumberbeard! Also, I'll see you in person next month! Can't wait. Dense, dark brown appearance, with a patchy foam head. Lots of layered aroma, with toffee, caramel, and oak. Slight coffee like note as well. Flavor is all the same, but not as aggressive as the aroma, or how much I'd expect a beer of this strength to be. Smooth taste, caramel front, soft bran, hints of dark fruit. Lingering dry oak and exceptionally smooth Bourbon. This brew is quite the treat, and certainly one worth celebrating. Excellent! Year 3 has a tough act to follow.
