Bottle ordered from Left Field Beer. Darkest brown. Foamy beige head. Aroma is boozy and chewy. Dark fruit. Rye grains and spice. Bourbon booze and sweetness. Chewy fruit cake malts. Flavourwise it's barrel led - bitter and definitely boozy - over dark fruits and equally dark fruit cake. Thick. Oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Yep.

(Keg at CoolHead Taproom, 20250227) The beer poured black. Its head was small and lightly brown. Aroma had vanilla, toasted malts, raisins, prunes and lightly spiciness. Palate was medium bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were toasted malts, vanilla, chocolate, wood, spicy notes, prunes, raisins and bitterness. Aftertaste had vanilla, raisins and bitterness. A tasty brew with not too strong barrel notes.
