12 oz can. Thank you ClarkVV. Aroma of vanilla, bread malt, honeycombs. Very soft spice helps balance the mall and honey notes. Similar to cinnamon or nutmeg. The gin barrel is not forward at all. Quite an interesting brew.

Can pour shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! It's a light brown with fine particulate mist. Aroma is caramel, bourbon, milder apple pie spices and honey. Taste is strong, rich caramel, apple spices, honey. Mouthfeel is full bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Overall, quite sweet and thick. In small doses to be sure.

12oz can drunk 9/16/23. Clear, light amber. Little/no head. Gin and bourbon with amber malts, caramel, vanilla. I don't love the nose, it's rather bready, sweet, short. Tastey as shit. Sweet, rich, toffee, vanilla, peppery, rich, spicy buff trace. Tons of vanilla lingering. On the sweet side, maybe a touch too much, but well-done.
