Bottle shared by WillRunForBeer--thanks, Brian! Opaque, dark brown with nice viscosity ring of head. Aroma is strong caramel, bourbon, hint of dark fruit, oak. Taste is strong caramel, dark fruit, oak, bourbon. Relatively thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Good strength, complexity and balance.

750 ml bottle. Thank you Brian on the share. Aroma of vanilla, old chocolate, and plum. Flavor is good. Same flavor as the aroma. Good. I was hoping for just a touch more here.

Bottled 2019, #891/1000, shared by Willrumforbeer on 8/9/25.
Thanks, Brian!
Clear mahogany, small, tan head.
Caramel, bourbon, light floral notes and moderate oak. Light chocolate light raisin. No booze.
Raisin, prune, vanilla and sweet bourbon with lots of pepper and soft caramel. A bit punchy-oaky with tons of lead. Not sweet, though. Very austere.
Thanks Brian 891/1000 dark fruit, barrel, toffee. Really nice.
