16 oz. can. Aroma shows slight raisin, mild chocolate, with a hint of earthy grain. Coffee is here in a different way. I can tell that they didn’t just throw in some cold brew as an afterthought. The bean was integrated into the boil kettle. Coffee is here in very soft, thoughtful manner. Mild fruit and nut character. Soft roast. Really solid.

Bottle shared. Thanks Sam! Pours an orange ruby with a small head. Lots of cognac aromas with big raspberry and vanilla notes. Smooth on the palate, raspberry skin, seed and fruit with creamy vanilla bean. Tartness is restrained. Warming honey on the finish. What an insane combination. One of the highlights of the share.

Bottle shared. Thanks Sam! Big raspberry focused nose with skin and fruit with a nice undercurrent of wine oak as it warms. Not ovelry tart or acidic. Bright and loud raspberry with some tannic and vinous red wine notes on the palate. Lingering wood and oak. Really nice.
