Tap at BPBW 2025, and man, maaaaan am I glad I won't be the one going against the grain with this one. Black body didn't note the head. Heavily boozy aroma, the caramel, dried fruit and vanilla creating brandy-like vibes. The same in the taste - vanilla, bourbon, caramel, dried fruit, brandy-like, and heavily alcoholic, burning. Nah, no, too boozy, way too boozy. Will give it a chance at some point, but in a crowd of strong beers, this one felt the booziest, or thereabouts.
