Dark, viscous. Little/no head.
Nutty, earthy, with piquant berry and some lactose character I don't love. Not boozey. Not a ton of barrel here but it's soft and rounded with light bourbon aromatics and sweetness.
Quite sweet with malt and lactose and fruit sugar combining to slightly cloy the palate on the finish. This 100% did not need lactose. Still wildly sugary after two years with very minimal barrel character; just a bit of char. Even the malt adds little balance, having a bit of dark chocolate and toast to it but very minimally flavorful overall. The fruit and malt taste good, but it's sooooo sweet...
