Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks Clark. Inky, inky black, viscous up the wazoo! Aroma is cocoa, vanilla, background bourbon. Taste is strong fudge brownie, vanilla, earthy malt, mild bourbon. Thick, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Super thick dessert beer. Needs more bourbon presence to offset the sweetness.

500mL bottle drunk 7/26/25.
Dark, undetermined clarity. Tan head quickly recedes to ring.
This must have almond in it, or hazelnut, or something like that. Bourbon is moderate, tasteful, round and lightly spicy with some sweetness and no alcohol or burn. Salted caramel? Something definitely adjuncted, but it's all pretty tasteful. Though with warming and breathing, the adjunct dominates and the barrel gets lost.
Soft, sweet, malty, fudgey and with a cakey-salted caramel and hazelnut-like character. Is there lactose? Something acidic/tangy that seems lactose-like. Bourbon is spicy, sweet, not all that prominent, honestly. Light, tasteful vanilla and lingering brownie batter. Acidity ever-present to keep it drinkable, but I just don't know if I can get behind the adjunct being more prominent than the barrel. Not boozey and pretty sweet. Guess it depends how much you like brownies, hazelnut and/or salted caramel.

Wilfred Brimley special. Vanilla, maple, brownie batter, diabetes. Needs more barrel to cut the sweetness. Free testing supplies with purchase.
