12 oz. can. Pours black, with a big, foamy, tan head. The nose is cognac, cherry wood, cloves, cola, caramel, and black bread. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, earthy bitterness. Heavy, grainy, and boozy. Aggressive and interesting.

CBJ tasting, thanks to Cloin for the can. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy and fairly dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Light malts. A tom of candy fruits, red berries obvious. Raspberry and candy strawberry. Light tangy finish. Dry but fruity. A curious Tipa!

My New Year's Beer! Popped at midnight CST. Bourbon SMELL is there, but lighter than expected. Deep black pour, tan head turns out to be rather fizzy. BUT a plenty boozy taste at the first sip. Black roast malts just as to the barrel aged bourbon impression. Only slight stickiness, considering the malt and alcohol involved. In fact, it finishes just a little drier than your usual. BA Imply.

Canned 1/10/25, the only batch thus far, drunk 12/31/25, as pictured.
Oh boy...this could be a banger...!! Smell is a near-perfect balance of rich, not too sweet malt and big barrel but not so much as too be austere or over-barreled feeling. Vintage mahogany, vanilla, spicy rye and succulent caramel and English toffee for days...no alcohol noted. Not too fruity, not too tannic. Not too much raisin/prune/plum.
Richly-malted with cherry, vanilla, date and plum, but not aggressively fruity or anything, nor is it too sweet. Really nice balance, thick and malty but not syrupy. Definitely hear them on the "most wood-focused beer to-date". But it's not too much; it's wonderful and rich and not too intense or overbearingly dry, spicy, tannic or boozey. Weird that this beer seemingly flew under the radar. It was available quite a few times on Tavour, and didn't sell out the 2nd+ times. It's an absolute stunningly-balanced gem with a near-perfect amount of barrel expression. And even more impressive, it's in perfect drinking shape after not even a year in can (with plenty more years to gracefully go, it seems). At 14%, you definitely start to feel the alcohol build on the palate, on the finish, but there's zero sharp/heat/alcohol flavor at any point.

On tap at Bottle Theory. Pours black with a brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of bourbon barrel and dark grains with some roast and vanilla coming through. Flavor has barrel and vanilla with backbone of dark grains, coconut and roasted malts supporting.
