500mL bottle shared by Willrunforbeer on 8/9/25.
Clear auburn no head.
Cherry and fruity with vanilla and caramel. Sweet, light bit of alcohol.
Soft, caramel, vanilla, creme brulée. Soft, rich body. Sweet and juicy. Maybe just a bit too much barrel.

Bottle pour from WillRunForBeer--thanks, Brian! An opaque, inky black with min viscosity, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon and mild vanilla and cocoa. Taste is strong bourbon over dark fruit, mild vanilla. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied soft carbonation, finish as taste with spice.

500 ml bottle, Thanks to Brain on the share. Mild randy, soft oak, light toffee. Flavor is a carbon copy. Maybe a touch boozy. It is decent even at this age.
