Can from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Inky black with ephemeral thin head, nice sparkle, nice viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon, rye, sweet, earthy malts, chocolate, toffee. Taste is strong bourbon, sweet, earthy malts, chocolate, rye and caramel. Thick texture, full bodied, average carbonation and finish as taste. Thick and sweet with a bunch of barrel as an offset. I'm loving sipping this! I guess much more than my posse.

Can, 2024, drunk 6/30/24. Probably clear, dark. Small, tan head to ring quickly. Tawny Port leading the way with sweet raisin and good chocolatey malt. Some drier whiskey and raisin again. Not boozey. Sweet, malty, chewy, fudgey with smoke and char, lots of brandy and light vanilla. Not boozey. If anything, a bit sweet, the port sort of exacerbating that.

16 oz. Can shared by ClarkVV. Thank you! Aroma has a jammy port barrel hint, roast. Flavor has soft rue barrel with the jammy Port character. Roasted malt is tamed by the barrel aging. A nice range of flavors. Quite good!

Thanks Clark, sweet tawny port with lots of sweetness that lingers. It's good but borders over sweet.

Rated at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2024 (MBCC). Roasty, dry and earthy with some licorice and dark chocolate. A bit heavy and roasty.
