Brewery draught, 10/26/23. Dark, viscous, tan head immediately fizzling. Rich vanilla, coconut, mellowed chocolate-like maltiness and little/no roast. Lovely cherry and other light fruitiness but no heavy dark fruit and no alcohol noted. Soft, thick, rich, with lovely bourbon and spiciness. Good attenuation, light vanilla and almost an almond suggestion. Good lord, this is insane! Have these guys been brewing with Side Project?! This is right up there with those. Maybe not quite the absolute jaw dropping barrel elegance, but pretty damn near close. Love the rich, rich, syrupy texture but higher than average attenuation for this style. Lingering almond, cherry, coconut and complex bourbon notes. 500mL bottle the very next day. Wow this is a lot more alcoholic and thinner than the draught I had yesterday....
