2021 vintage; consumed on 12/1/2022
Pours a viscous, pitch-black body capped with a slight half-finger of silky, golden khaki foam; mediocre head retention leaves a nearly blank cap and no collar nor any lacing whatsoever holding to the walls of the glass.
Aroma expand with oak into a soft cherry underscore, leaving pungent barrel awash with bakers chocolate as tinges of leathery tobacco and dark fruit esters meander across the bouquet.
Taste offers dusty oak upfront, with hints of chocolate wafer building to richer fudge and sporting cherry edges; warming vanillins fade through the mid-palate into dusty barrel, tobacco, and lightly smoked caramels on the back end of the profile.
Mouthfeel brings a fuller body with minimal carbonation, leaving a silky char and underlying creaminess to mask a budding warmth through the mid-palate, while a subtle pang of booziness eases to a woody grit on the back end.
Heavy barrel challenges roasty malts to a warming and dense standoff, settling to a bittersweet equilibrium of malted chocolate and fine bourbon; a simultaneously visceral yet level expression of oak influence on display here.

Black with a thin dark mocha head that quickly settles into a crown.
Amazing aroma of dark chocolate brownies, licorice, char, caramel, plum and bourbon.
Nice char in the taste, with hints of the chocolate, licorice, fruit and barrel from the nose, plus a little amaretto, but also a comparatively dry finish that leaves me wanting more.
The feel is creamy with very soft fizz. Not bad, but again not as robust as the aroma leaves me wanting.
One of the best-smelling beers I’ve come across. The rest is very good, but not as mind blowing.
