Bottle, 2026 vintage. Rich roasted malt aroma with notes of chocolate, caramel, vanilla, bourbon and oak. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and some lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, chocolate and oak flavors as well as having a rich, full body and slick, viscous mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with caramel, vanilla and bourbon flavors as well as a nice warming booziness that warms the belly. Wonderful.
