Pint can, 2025 vintage. Caramel aroma with notes of toffee, toasted malt, vanilla, bourbon and oak. Pours clear amber colored with half a finger of tan head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with caramel, toffee and bourbon flavors as well as having a medium body and smooth mouthfeel. Finishes smooth with toasted malt, vanilla and oak flavors. Good but lacks depth.
