Bottle at Black Christmas March 2022, vintage 2020
A bit dusty smell, roasted malts highlighted by the barrel. Lighter flavour than the Rye Whiskey and Glenora tasted just before, dusty malts, some roastiness. Simplistic.

Bottle at Black Christmas March 2022; vintage 2021
Dark brown colour. Not much aroma; good dark malts, dark sugar, but light body, evident alcohol. It's good, but with no complexity.

Slightly more smelly and less character than the Rye Whiskey version, it's a decent strong Brown Ale, with no soul.

Poured a black color with a medium sized tan head, slight cola color on edges of glass. Aroma was dark, roasted malts. Flavor was light roasted malts, with some creamy oats. Real smooth.

Dark brown. Medium head. On the nose, it's got a sticky, kind of clumsy smelling whiskey note overtop of what seems to be a really sweet impy. On the palate, better balance. A medium richness impy, with layers of chocolate and coffee. The whiskey lends some sugary richness, but it's balanced with more tannins and acidity. I'm digging this.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy orange-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit peel, earthy yeast, light pine and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, orange, vegetal, light pine and spicy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Meh.
