750ml @ Ryan's shared with Farees and Phill (thx for the beer, man!).
Aroma: some funk, noticeable sherry barrels.
Taste: along the same lines, very low carbonation.
Overall: it's good, but wouldn't say it's mind blowing. As per my current experience agter trying multiple of them, I think that this series is very overrated.

Taste: along the same lines, a lot of dark fruits, moderately sweet and thick. Finishes with noticeable charred barrel notes and dark fruits.
Overall: this is an interesting one. It has a lot of charred barrel from the bourbon barrel part and fruity notes from the armagnac part. Good one.
