375ml (thx, John B.L. for the bottle and Jeremy N. for the bottle border crossing!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees. ABV 13% (probably 2020 bottle). Appearance: dark brown with no head. Aroma: a lot of bourbon barrels, sweetness, some fruitiness. Taste: omg, SUPER OILY, VERY THICK, lots of bourbon notes, some berries sourness, black chocolate. Overall: machine oil bourbon barrel forward beer. I wouldn't make the bottle alone for sure. It was so thick that even after 3 last sips the beer was going back down from the sides of the glass and forming another sip, lol. Unbelievable, hahaha.

Poured from 375mL bottle (abv listed as 13% - 2021 version (apparently? maybe 2020?)). Black with no head. Very boozy sweetness, sticky, oily, touch of sourness almost. Need to sip over a period of time. A bit too barrel forward (from someone who like barrel forward beers).
