Bottle shared by tfontana on 9/21/25. Congrats on your 7,000th rating!
Dark, viscous. Little/no head.
Nutty, earthy, with piquant berry and some lactose character I don't love. Not boozey. Not a ton of barrel here but it's soft and rounded with light bourbon aromatics and sweetness.
Quite sweet with malt and lactose and fruit sugar combining to slightly cloy the palate on the finish. This 100% did not need lactose. Still wildly sugary after two years with very minimal barrel character; just a bit of char. Even the malt adds little balance, having a bit of dark chocolate and toast to it but very minimally flavorful overall. The fruit and malt taste good, but it's sooooo sweet...

500 ml Thank you Tfontana on the share! Aroma is cinnamon, dough like malt, cinnamon. The flavor is might have some cinnamon. Like a boat load of cinnamon. Traces of sugar and chocolate. Body is ok. I mean… if you like Fried dough with cinnamon this is your bag!

2023 batch 1 shared by tfontana on 9/20/25.
Clear deep caramel. Small, light tan head.
Cinnamon and sugar galore. Not really a clear bourbon presence but lots of dough and also a ton of cinnamon. Getting apple too. But no alcohol.
Ok, there is actual bourbon in the flavor. Sweet and with tons of cinnamon apple pie. Medium-full body. You do get bourbon but there's also way too much cinnamon. If we took the cinnamon down about five notches and had a bit more rich textures with less pastry flour notes.
