Keg at the brewery, 1/24/22. Bartender didn't meantion oak, so I'm not sure if the 2021 vintage has them. Not going to put in a new beer but perhaps this entry and the 2019 vintage need to be split if someone has more info. Black, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of roast, leather, hints of smoke and dark fruit. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate, resiny hop, dark fruits. Thin for the style. The aroma set me up for an amazing beer and I was a bit let down. Still a very good beer though.
