Bottled 10.26.2020, drunk 12/26/2023. Clear, dark brown. Small, somewhat fizzy, light tan head shows low retention. Oh wow, actual whiskey in the nose! Chocolate, fruity yeast, bit of salt and char. Soft vanilla on the finish with no booze or other aggressive notes. Rich, soft, sweet, malty. Great balance of salty char, sweet malt, spicy rye. Wow the rye in this is insanely flavorful without being tannic or over-roasted/charred. And it's not boozey. Rich malt is just south of syrupy, but is full and comforting. Sweet, but with good balance from whiskey, coffee and barrel. Lingering vanilla, rye, chocolate and a pinch of dry, salty char. The sweetness still sticks with you, though. And this is with three years of age on it....

Draught at Ale Mary's, 12/22/23. Dark, tan bubbles on edge. Dark chocolate, very faint bourbon but not sugary or boozey. Pretty timid. Soft, richly malted, lots of strong, spicy bourbon. Heavy chocolate/cacao character and good acidity and attenuation. Medium-full body with no real syrup or chew to it, but still far from too light/thin. Bourbons a bit heavy/powerful. Just intense pepper, neatly sharp. At least it's dries the finish but there's more intense pepper lingering.
