Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper. No dating that I can find on the bottle.
It pours not quite pitch black with a small short lived head of tan foam. Very little lacing.
Smells of caramel malt, maple syrup, brown sugar, dark pitted fruits, sweet with some alcohol.
Taste is maple syrup, caramel malt, brown sugar, pitted fruits, some heat from the alcohol, can't deny the flavour of Bourbon. Yikes. Pretty darn smooth.
Close to full bodied if not so. Gentle carbonation.
Impressive!

Capped half liter bottle from that beer store in Boardman, OH whose name escapes me right now. Xmas 2023. Dark brown, medium tan head, average retention. Aroma of toffee, raisin, whiskey, vanilla. Taste is strawberry, vanilla, oak, toffee, caramel, bourbon. Full bodied, mild booze. Nice.
