Bottle, 2020 vintage from Smokes n Suds. Opening the wax dipped bottle was the absolute worst wax experience I've ever had... I nearly swore off buying another Revision bottle ever. Fortunately the beer was great and I've calmed down a bit since then. Nearly black in color with a small brown head. Strong aroma of sweet and woody bourbon barrel notes, light smoke. The same transitions to the taste, albeit a little more woody. Lightly sweet with some dark chocolate. The barrel treatment is a real compliment. Big abv is hardly noticeable.
