330mL bottle. Pours murky brown with a very small beige head. Rye, port, raisins, bready malts, toffee on the nose. Flavour has a lot of toffee and raisins, nice presence from the rye and port barrels, lots of dark sugars. Thick, smooth mouthfeel and a warm boozy finish. Maybe a bit cluttered, but quite enjoyable nonetheless.

Hazy. Pale brown, no head. Soft, the phenols from the quad dominate the nose but are tempered somewhat by the rich maltiness of the munichwine. Toasty richness and alcohol in the finish. Definitely more phenols than I am comfortable with.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with no head. Aromas of brown sugar taffy, nougat, raisins, a bit of bourbon like booze and bready malts. Flavors follow same with the booze being more in line with a sweet rye and additional oak. Warm finish. Not getting port barrel but still but really nice

355mL bottle at The Magnet, pours a deep dark brown with a tiny head. Nose is rich, with toke of dark dried fruits—especially raisins—caramel, some port, and a touch of rye whiskey barrels. Flavour is rich, with butterscotch, caramel, some raisins, subtle port, not much whiskey presence. Cohesive, with just enough acidity (from the port?) to balance the sticky sugars. Good.
