$6.05 pounder from Appalachian. Pint glass at home while waiting for more rain. Brown on black, opaque pour. Oily, slow to fall cookie dough head. Rich fudge, spicy wood staves, Malibu coconut rum nose. Sweet, spiced & sharp. Chocolate fudge, really sharp figs, coconut oil, slight veggie bitterness, salty burnt caramel finish. Really like the sharp dark fruit bite. Density & construction is very Burial-like. Thick & heavy, soft carbonation, boozy tiramasu, belly burn. I couldn't find much oxidation underneath the heavy flavors. They probably hid an off barrel in the blend but I really liked how it turned out.

Pint can picked up in VA - deep black - fizzy pour that kicks up a tan head that dissipates quickly - nose of dough, fig, treacle, chocolate, molasses, tamarind, umami, oak, bourbon - slick mouthfeel - all the elements from the nose present in the flavor, along with a moderate tartness and oxidation - not sure if the tartness is on purpose, but it works here to a degree, presenting a drying acidity before a warming, moderately boozy finish.
