A blend of batch one V.S.O.R. from a Woodford Double Oak barrel and V.S.O.J. dry component aged together for an additional forty months in a single Heaven Hill Bourbon barrel. Aromas of vanilla, baking spice, and American oak soar above a current of caramel, date, and maple.

Pours a dark brown-black color. Really not much of a head to speak of. Aroma is boozy with notes of bourbon, vanilla, musty oak, and dark fruits. Taste follows the nose with notes of bourbon, oak, musty oak, vanilla and dark fruits. Feel is thick, sticky, brightly carbonated. Overall a nice beer that just comes across a bit too musty for my liking.

Had this on draft 1/28/22 @ Revolution's Taproom.
Opaque orange rust/dark brown appearance.
Almost no khaki head; no lace.
Caramel, chocolate, bourbon soaked raisin & oak notes in the nose.
Thick, sticky mouthfeel.
Caramel, raisin, & chocolate flavors up front; bourbon heat & oak notes on the finish.
Robust and quite delicious. A real treat!
