LCI, surprisingly smokey and boozy but can get lots of nice barrel depth if sipped. Maybe too many vanillas at this point.

Taste from a bottle at the Weldwerks Invitational, 2025. Pours black, with thin, bubbly, brown head. The aroma is milk chocolate, walnut, espresso, bourbon, and nutmeg. Sweet and malty, with a sharp, balancing bitterness. Heavy body, syrupy, and clean. Flawless, complex, and reasonably balanced.

Fairly thick, boozy. A buttload of vanilla, bourbon, chocolate, some herbal spices. Rich, excellent.

Rated at The Side Project Cellar. Intense barrel and some oaky bourbon notes, loads of vanilla, some cocoa, chocolate and honey vibes. Soft and smooth, quite complex and tasty.
