Brewery draught, 2/23/24. I think clear. Dark mahogany. Small, light-tan head quickly to ring. Fudgey Tootsie roll like the base beer. But some more mellowness and light bourbon tones here. But yeah, it's a lot of chocolate-vanilla-milk. Not boozey. Bourbon spice, oak tannin contributing coconut and big wood dryness with spicy notes returning alongside a medium body relative to its size. Significantly better than the base, mostly in account of having dried and mellowed, but also with more body and texture from the tannin. Still has some sharpness in places, could maybe use a few more months to mellow even more.
