Bottle pour from ClarkVV--thanks, Clark. An inky black with nice viscosity. Aroma is strong roasted malt, earthy toffee. Taste follows aroma with addition of mild barrel. Smooth, thick, with finish as taste. Too roasted and earthy--not enjoyable.

375 ml bottle. Aroma is vanilla and slight barrel. Barrel is weak in flavor with an earthy / acidic vanilla. Overall, the barrel doesn’t help balance the sweetness. I never heard of this brewery. So no expectations.

375mL bottle, 2023, from DrFabulous, drunk 1/20/24. Dark, viscous, no head. Lovely, lovely vanilla, fudge, hints of easygoing bourbon. Some banana amyl coming on strong. Must be the heavy vanilla acidity. Super intense, sharp, bitter vanilla. A bit thin, though not boozey or over-barreled. I like the vanilla, it's just too acidic. Savory, fudgey notes are excellent but can't get past the sharpness and relative thinness.

Thanks Clark. Aroma is vanilla, bourbon. Taste is sweet, vanilla bourbon and a bitterness in the finish. Meh.
