Can pour shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! It's an opaque black with ring of beige head and no lacing. Aroma is strong sweet, earthy malt, vanilla and bourbon. Taste is sweet malt, bourbon, vanilla. Mouthfeel is smooth, soft carbonation and finish as taste.

12 oz can shard by ClarkVV!! Aroma has chocolate malt and a large roasted malt character. The flavors surprisingly restrained. Soft, maple, and very soft bourbon with chocolate and roasted malt backbone. Not overly boozy or overly sweet. Wow!

12oz can, undated, drunk 9/16/23. Clear, deep maroon-mahogany. Smattering of tan bubbles. Ok, ok, wow, not too f-in shabby. Roast, char, maple, spice, bourbon, lead and such. No booze, lots of caramel-vanilla-chocolate but no overt lactose. A touch roasty, but the barrel is killer and the roast probably helps balance. Soft, sweet, rich, syrupy, charred and juicy with milky, sweet, vanilla and heavy lactose. Strong spice, maple and ash. Black licorice and such. Really wacky and interesting. Probably sweeter than you'd like but there is plentiful maple spice, bourbon spice, vanilla spice and drying alcohol. Sweet, syrupy, interesting. Charred.

Sweet, creamy, smooth. Maple, oak, chocolate. Nice barrel notes. Not sure I could drink 12oz solo.
