Can, 2024 vintage. Caramel aroma with notes of toffee, dark fruit, vanilla, bourbon and oak. Pours deep toffee brown colored with a thin tan head that has very little retention and little lacing. Starts with caramel, toffee and vanilla flavors as well as having a rich, full body and sticky, decadent mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with dark fruit, bourbon and oak flavors as well as a bit of warming booze at the end. Wonderful.
