Brewed with 100% Maris Otter barley imported from England. Boiled 24 hours for intense natural wort caramelization. Aged for 14 months in ex-Sauternes and ex-Port barrels that were then used to age rye whiskey for 3 years before we filled them with Lord Maris. We smell & taste intense impressions of caramelized fig compote, crème brûlée, chocolate-port wine cake, creamy vanilla bars, and whiskey pecan pie.

Can shared at the DCBeer February share. Poured a nearly black color. Aroma was big rich malt, dark fruits, caramel, vanilla. Licorice. Incredibly rich.

16oz can pours a dark brown. Beige head. Nose has a lot of spirit and so much booze. Clearly not bourbon. Spice too. And not the baking type you expect for the style. Full bodied. 7 3 7 4 13

Caramel, toffee. Murky brown pour with decent head. Lots of booze--way too much. Sweet boozy end. Can shared at tasting.
