Aged in a Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel from Barfly's - notes of light fruit, boozy, finished with local honey.

22oz bottle pours a murky, burnt orange with a ring of white head. Nose is butterscotch and candy corn. Not much else. Flavor is the same, malt, candy corn, butterscotch, pecan pie. Finishes hot... sweet too... WOO! Halloween in a glass.

Poured a very dark brown color with a small, off-white head. Aroma was buffalo trace bourbon with sweet candy notes. I heard candy corn at the tasting, which I can't disagree with. Sweet caramel. Bottle at the DC area socially distant Fall 2020 tasting.
