500 ml bottle, thank you tfontana. 2023 vintage. Aroma shows subtle toffee, raisins, bourbon. Flavor of spicy rye, oak, in a decent malt body. Lots of spicy bourbon lingers after the sip.

Can from the brewery. Lightly hazy gold with light sparkle, ring of head, no sparkle and trace lacing. Aroma is strong sweet coffee and vanilla/cream. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with mild bitterness. Am finding the adjuncted Cream Ales I've had lately to be pretty good. This is no exception.

4 oz. pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Opaque black, no sparkle, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is strong mint/dish soap, mild chocolate. Taste is super strong mint, much milder chocolate. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Mint is a little strong on both aroma and taste. Is nice addition but needs to be dialed back a smidge.
