Bottle.
A- Dark mahogny color, dark liquid, no head.
A- Booze, maple, malty.
F- Maple, rye, mild cinnamon, oak, mild booze.
T- Medium body, slightly thin texture, average carbonation, slightly boozy finish.
O- Nice maple throughout and some rye but otherwise I felt this was just not quite where it should be. Had the 2022 at 3 years old. Good but not quite top tier for me.

12oz bottle, 2024, drunk 10/31/25.
Dark, clear. Deep tan head fizzles very quickly to nothing. Can't even get a picture of it in time.
Very liquorous, with strong spice of licorice and cherry brandy-like notes. There's a sweetness on the end of caramel, light fudge, possibly bourbon, though the bourbon isn't very distinct, unfortunately. Some lingering dark chocolate and more of this cherry-soaked liquor character. Not alcoholic, surprisingly.
Big cherry and big peppery spice with a bit of a peppery carbonation and heat, though not sharpness, coming from somewhere. Fudgey and sweet, but not syrupy. Again, the lack of soft, round, gently spicy bourbon really hurts this, as you have weirdly licorice-forward cherry/spice in its place. Maybe this one looks a little better on paper than in actuality, though it's far from unpleasant or anything like that.

"2022 vintage" - enfin, een andere editie is er natuurlijk (nog) niet geweest. Hoe Beer Republic aan deze Brewmaster Exclusives komt weet ik niet, maar ik profiteer er maar van... Kleur is vrijwel zwart, de kraag is lichtbruin met een laagje retentie. Geur is behoorlijk boozy eerst, dan wordt het wat milder, fruitig, zoetig. Retronasaal is het vrij zoet, wat kaneel (niet teveel gelukkig), fruitige alcohol, iets hout. Smaak is boven middelmatig zoet met wat fruitige alcohol. Alcohol is behoorlijk heet. Body is medium. Lange finish, iets droog.

0.375l cork top bottle. Aroma of wine, berries, flowers, barnyard and wood. Pours clear amber color with quickly diminishing off-white head, yeast residue and sparkling appearance. Taste starts tart vinous, citrusy and woody,
follows by raspberries and flowers with relatively smooth mouthfeel. Light body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Flower sour power…
