Can at BBT 2/2024. Very well attenuated, med-high bitterness, light sweetness. ABV hidden very well, only background warmth. Med-high citrusy hops character. A bit of caramelly oxidation, but not too much. Good, easy drinking.

Pours black, small white head. Scent is full, bit soy, roasty, dark and pure chocolate. some coffee-like aspects. Vanilla and maple are rather mild. A decent amount of Barrel shining trough, but not doing overkill. Taste is full, rather bitter, oily, mildly age factor, bit plastic-y. very mild on vanilla, hidden on the maple. Decent amount of bourbon, but not the best profile I've had it. Perhaps a bit too aged at this point ?
