16oz (thx, Nick S.!) shared with Alex @ home. Vintage 2019. Appearance: very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: oak, a bit fruity, some roasted malt notes, a bit of chocolate. Taste: moderately sweet, a bit boozy, fruity, lots of barrel character. Overall: quite good, but I don't feel like it's a really nice one, lacks balance and integration IMHO.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 08/01/19). Very dark brown with minimal beige head. More bourbon on the aroma, more apple brandy on the taste, some mild dark fruits in the background. Decent.

Bottle, mooch tasting, courtesy of Sergey and the gang; vintage 2022, 1 year old
Dark amber colour, haze. Aroma of hazelnuts, almonds, vanilla. Full bodied, sweet, with good malt depth, caramel sauce, vanilla (from the barrels), concealing the alcohol. Very good.

Pint can pours with a dirty dark opaque gold colored body that supports a lasting dirty off white head of foam. The aroma offers up warm pineapple, over ripe white grape, cantaloupe and then some notes of mango and ripe tangelo into the end of the draw. The taste delivers bold sweet pineapple blended with sweet over ripe white grapes, cantaloupe and guava. To midway tangy tangelo and mango try to develop some balance against the onslaught of sweetness but the come up short. Into the finish the massive ABV tries to intercede the sweetness too in a lingering second round battle royal. Overall this is too God damn sweet to be a great beer but this works decently for such a big hazy IIIIPA.
