Pour is a dark amber with a smallish white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma with a little basement must. Flavor is about the same. Caramel malts with a little old book like flavor to round things out. Decent ESB probably a little too sweet but this had a great malt profile.

Pour is an almost black with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice dark sugary malt with some vanilla from the oak. Flavor is sweet molasses with some dark fruit and the alcohol is here in a big way. Some oak notes are there but the oak was way more predominate in the aroma. Good oak aged dopple.

Can, from Trader Joe's, Chicago (Nov 2023). Pours clear dark amber-red with a small foamy beige head, caramel-grassy aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter caramel-cinnamon taste, thin smooth body, long medium bitter cinnamon-caramel finish. It's difficult to get any bay leaves flavor, but a nice winter beer.
