Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque, inky black with nice viscosity. Aroma is bourbon over dark fruit, caramel, spice. Taste is strong dark fruit, bourbon (with heat), spice, dark sugar. Thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Bourbon is a bit too prominent along with heat and hard to find specific flavors but maybe I have some palate fatigue after 15+ barleywines/stouts in the last 24 hours.

375mL bottle drunk 7/26/25.
Clear, dark. Garnet and dark mahogany. Tan head to ring quickly.
Burnt toffee, vanilla, rich raisin and milk chocolate. Oaky, but not hot or too oaky. Fruity and spicy with lingering toffee and such. I'm not getting any booze though it's peppery and the strength is certainly sensed.
Wow, that's a wild ride. Big, spicy, peppery, acidic, strong, intense, rich, etc....It's definitely mega-flavorful with some strong barrel and a bit of heat on the very end, though it's not raw or sharp. Cherry, vanilla, dried fudge and a sticky, rich texture with pretty good attenuation. I gotta tell ya, this doesn't seem too much in any one area. There's a shit ton of barrel strength, but it's lovely. Seems to have attenuated very nicely.

Wow let's going on. Tons of barrels. Still pretty boozy.

375mL bottle, pours dark black with a tan head. Nose brings out intense molasses, bourbon barrels, and gently burnt roasted malt. Flavour is intensely complex, with huge bourbon barrels, molasses, burnt dark roasted malt, and sugars. Remarkable complexity despite the high gravity. Wonderful.
