50cl bottle pours a leggy, opaque black with some brick red head. Nose is really nice, amped up everything but it all works in concert. Like Megadeath. Cocoa, malt, brown sugar, whiskey, cake, lightly earthy. Flavors of malted chocolate balls, licorice, brownie batter, smooth whiskey. Lots of wood sugars too. Full bodied, sticky, boozy but well balanced. About a year old too and it's held up.

5 oz draft. Aroma of whiskey and chocolate malt. The rye barrel cuts the sweet coffee and chocolate notes. Awesome thick body and the 12% is very restrained yet shows a warming finish.

York River Landing draught, 12/12/24. Unclear, dark. Small, fleeting, tan head. Sweet milk and chocolate with vanilla and round bourbon notes. Crunchy biscuit, more chocolate and lovely bourbon. No booze, doesn't seem sugary. Soft, sweet, malty with a bit of milky character and tons of spicy bourbon. Vanilla, light oxidation, light oak. Sweet, malt, not syrupy or boozey. Intense flavors with fanatically well expressed barrel character. Lingering brown sugar, spice, milk chocolate.
