10oz pour at the brewery is an opaque black with a ring of beige head. Light legs. Big black licorice nose, woody too, toast, molasses. Flavors follows. More barrel but its very nicely balanced. Bourbon is a little sharp on the end. Sweet, a little boozy, long finish.

Keg at the brewery, 4/29/23, with Mika. Black, thin brown head, good retention. Aroma of roast, whiskey, vanilla, raisin. Taste is roast, covfefe (not really, just coffee), raisin, whiskey, cola. Lingering bitterness.
