12oz slim can. Beast of a beer. Quadrupel level Tripel, really big alcohol notes, but also really solid yeast tone. Heavy duty stuff, rich and heavy, some estery touched hop bitterness in the finish. Quite a satisfying beer, well executed.

Bottle shared by Adam, thanks! Pours a cloudy yellowish brown with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has strong rye and caramel notes with a decent amount of bourbon. Flavor has a strong rye note with caramel and bourbon growing through the finish.

Draft: Poured a clear amber color ale with a nice foamy head. Aroma of grainy malt with fusel alcohol is more or less pleasant. Taste is also a mix of grainy malt notes with some residual sugar notes and some fusel alcohol notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Too hot for my tastebuds.
