16 can. Aroma is floral and may be a little herbal. I hate to say it, but the flavor has a little bit of old ladies perfume. Floral and herbal heart profile. Certainly not a favorite profile of mine.

12oz can drunk 9/23/23. Clear dark bronze-copper-amber. Dark beige head slowly to ring. Nose is lovely, vegetal, lightly spicy, very agave-like notes with maybe an afterthought of soft smoke from mezcal. Vanilla and mild oak from barrel balance the rich caramel-honey character from base malt. Clean, not boozey. Soft, rich, sweet, huge vanilla and mellow toffee-caramel with excellent, not sharp mezcal and tequila notes. Really impressed how the barrel character comes out without being sharp or hot. It's very rich, chewy/syrupy and sweet, but the flavors are excellent and somewhat mitigated by barrel, though it still ends tending quite sweet with huge maple-vanilla-tequila-caramel notes.

12 oz can. Thank you ClarkVV. Aroma of vanilla, bread malt, honeycombs. Very soft spice helps balance the mall and honey notes. Similar to cinnamon or nutmeg. The gin barrel is not forward at all. Quite an interesting brew.

Can pour shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! It's a light brown with fine particulate mist. Aroma is caramel, bourbon, milder apple pie spices and honey. Taste is strong, rich caramel, apple spices, honey. Mouthfeel is full bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Overall, quite sweet and thick. In small doses to be sure.

12oz can drunk 9/16/23. Clear, light amber. Little/no head. Gin and bourbon with amber malts, caramel, vanilla. I don't love the nose, it's rather bready, sweet, short. Tastey as shit. Sweet, rich, toffee, vanilla, peppery, rich, spicy buff trace. Tons of vanilla lingering. On the sweet side, maybe a touch too much, but well-done.

12 oz can shard by ClarkVV!! Aroma has chocolate malt and a large roasted malt character. The flavors surprisingly restrained. Soft, maple, and very soft bourbon with chocolate and roasted malt backbone. Not overly boozy or overly sweet. Wow!

12oz can, undated, drunk 9/16/23. Clear, deep maroon-mahogany. Smattering of tan bubbles. Ok, ok, wow, not too f-in shabby. Roast, char, maple, spice, bourbon, lead and such. No booze, lots of caramel-vanilla-chocolate but no overt lactose. A touch roasty, but the barrel is killer and the roast probably helps balance. Soft, sweet, rich, syrupy, charred and juicy with milky, sweet, vanilla and heavy lactose. Strong spice, maple and ash. Black licorice and such. Really wacky and interesting. Probably sweeter than you'd like but there is plentiful maple spice, bourbon spice, vanilla spice and drying alcohol. Sweet, syrupy, interesting. Charred.
