Sample during "Farm Fest 2025 (Friday VIP)" on 07/04/2025. Brown-black pour with a medium thin beige head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Sparse patches of lace. Aroma of oak, bourbon, malt, chocolate and fruit. Full-bodied with flavors of bourbon, oaky vanilla, chocolate fudge and dark fruits. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and roast malt aftertaste. Very good all around.

Bottle. Keep the series alive! Pours deep mahogany, medium beige-tan head, good lacing. Rich aroma of dark roasted sugars, oak tannins, barrel char, dark chocolate, with hints of vanilla and toasted coconut. Flavor is pretty sweet, light plus bitter, rich and luxurious. Full body, creamy mouthfeel.
