Canned 7/9/24, drunk 8/3/24. Clear mahogany-umber-burgundy. Small, beige head, spotty. Wow this IS somehow better than VSOR...more intensity of malt, deeper, richer bourbon and rye. Cherry, vanilla, soft lead, caramel, fruity raisin. Jesus. So sublime. No booze. Oh my God. Liquid gold. Soft, rich, juicy, cherry-vanilla...pepper, oak, hugely spicy bourbon. Reasonable body, rich but not too thick or cakey. Mellow and woody. This is absolutely insane for less than a month canned. A year from now this is going to be bonkers.

Sweet syrupy malt overdose with some barrel and oaky raisiny notes, caramel, toffee and oaky woodiness. Quite balanced and tasty slow sipper.

Canned, 355 ml, at the brewery. Dark brown with beige head. Caramel, malty, toffee, some dried figs and dates, raisins. Smooth and full bodied.
The king still reigns, raisins and barrel galore, oak milk and bourbon juice, sweet heavenly syrupy but not too syrupy deliciousness. I really should buy more than one four pack of this but glad I've got some to save for good times.
This is insanely good. Oh my. Thanks Clark.
