2020 vintage - 500ml bottle for 11 bucks at the brewery - yes, please - clear dark amber - the dry hopping on this is still surprisingly apparent, but has mellowed enough for the caramelized maltiness to shine - notes of plum, date, sherry - light oxidation and and very mild funkiness to it - the barrel is really understated, but there is an oaky tannic character that is just beneath the surface throughout - alcohol is not apparent at all - creamy texture, full body - I'm not really a fan of the base beer, especially when fresh, but the age and barrel treatment have made this quite nice - I appreciate that it does not bludgeon you over the head and is not a syrupy sugar bomb.

[2022-08-07] Flaska från 2022, 13,5%. Mörk, lite murken kastanjebrun med liten ljusbeige krona. Smakar som ett glas höst. Stor sötma, kolaremmar, johannesbröd, rostat socker. Stor kropp, fat, bra hetta. Rejält med sötma, drar nästan åt en sherry. Smuttvänligt. #lastone [9/4/9/4/17=4,3] [2022-10-08] Flaska från 2018, 13,5%. Kastanjebrun med en gnutta vitbeige krona. Smakar och doftar av bränt socker, Bourbon, fat, kolaremma, blöta höstlöv, kastanj. Mycket gott och snyggt. Betyget samma för denna. [9/4/9/4/17=4,3]
