I have a 12 oz can taken out of a double stack in a box that Martin House likes to do. Nothing ingredient-wise that I can object to. Brewed on Oct. 29, 2021 the label informs. My Great Heights snifter is in place to receive the pour, a dark black-brown body finished by a proper top of parchment brown foam. The smell, well, it is a good sign for later with chocolate, grain, toffee and a bit of booziness. I have a drink, no false step here, this is good. Baking chocolate, caramel, leather, bourbon, malt, toasted bread and just a hint of dark fruit. Any hops in here? I ask because it has a decent bitterness on the back end. My appreciation for Martin House increased with this one.

12 oz. can. Aroma Shows me mild whiskey, and light sake. The base of the beer has a very mild roasted backbone with notes of whiskey and a sake finish. Alcohol is mostly hidden. Overall, I do enjoy how different the rice makes this!

Can (3/24/22) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque black with nice sparkle, finger-plus width light brown foamy head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon over subtle earthy roast. Taste is strong bourbon over earthy roast, brown sugar, wood and mild toffee. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation, some alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, bourbon is strong but smooth. Other aromas and flavors are fairly subtle.

12 oz can from Bhensonb! Nose is cocoa, bourbon, vanilla, and a hint of sake in the aroma I’ll attribute to the rice and sake yeast. Black with a big, heavy lacing, cinnamon tan head. Flavor is sweet cocoa, vanilla, bourbon, and Rice Krispies.

Can from Tavour. Pours a la Guinness. Dark brn/blk huge tan pour that changes as it goes down. Aroma is treacle, whiskey, roast/burnt malt. Full bodied. Flavor is heat, treacle, chocolate, roast/burnt and bourbon. Slight oak astringency. This is complicated stuff. Good.
