12.7 ounce bottle, 2025 edition, bottled 02/25/25. Served in a Teku glass, the beer pours a mahogany brown color with about an inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. I like the aroma, the brew smells like sweet spices, oak, vanilla, dark fruit, dark chocolate and some bourbon. For the most part the taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some clove and fig flavors noticeable too. Little boozy but not too much. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's a little rich and creamy with a good amount of carbonation. Certainly worth picking up if you come across some!

Pours a very dark brown with a very small head. The aroma is very sweet,oak and bourbon notes. The flavor is dark fruits, sweeter sugary, oak and bourbon. Good feel.

Dark brown color. Medium-sized, off-white head. Dark fruits, raisins, toasted malt, wood, and vanilla in the aroma. Rich, semi-dry malty taste with distinctive bourbon notes at the end.
