16 oz. Can thank you tfontana for the share. Aroma bold raspberries, soft pie crust. Flavor follows. It is sweet and tart at the same time. Soft vanilla. But it makes sense that it has lactose. Good mouth feel and body.

Half pour at the brewery. Inky black w/nice viscosity. Aroma is strong earthy malt, bourbon, toffee. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Well balanced. Not boozy at all. Really smooth, comforting.

500 ml bottle shared by Clark, thank you. Aroma is vanilla, dark chocolate, black licorice and bold bourbon. Good bourbon remain strong in the flavor with the noted vanilla, dark chocolate, and secondary black licorice. The body is full but is a tad Boozy. If you like Weller bourbon this will work for you. Bold bourbon.

Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Inky, opaque black with thick viscosity, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon, tobacco, vanilla, anise, mild chocolate. Taste is bourbon (aggressive, harsh), chocolate, vanilla. Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied, harsh alcohol astringency, earthy malt. The bourbon is just too hot for this to be enjoyable. Give it a year or so to mellow and maybe then it will it its sweet spot but too harsh.

Bottle drunk 5/3/25.
Clear, small head.
Rich Weller laced tobacco, with thick, syrupy fudge and vanilla.
Graham cracker, rich acidity with intense bourbon lead and tons of char.
Vanilla syrup, chocolate and char with light roast, rich, juicy chocolate wafers and acidic maltiness. To the point of this being over-barreled, I think that's definitely a thing and a very real possibility here, though how delicious Weller is makes it hard to see it as a flaw. But the flavor profile, even a year out, is basically all barrel.

Heavily hazy, muted brass-maize. Small, white head.
Juicy and spicy with a bit of berry and no real allium from the Mosaic. Soft, blanding/balancing malts/oats.
Juicy, zippy, with great malt and chewy oat. Clean and with appropriate bitterness. Light blueberry and spicy herbal notes lingering.

Brewery draught, 1/17/25.
Clear, lighter brass. Small, white head.
Light toast and cereal with pine and grapefruit from the straightforward Centennial addition. Clean, malty.
Lighter bodied, creamy, some stewed hop and a bit of grapefruit. Not too toasty but that old school stewed hop character is off-putting to me. Well-balanced.
