4.55/5  rDev +1.6%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Pours nearly black with a swirl of tan foam that quickly fades; leggy with some speckles

Smell: The Bourbon tones integrate with chocolate, dark fruit, caramel, charred oak, and vanilla

Taste: Dark chocolate and Bourbon tones intermingle, up front, with dark fruit, caramel and vanilla adding some sweetness; the finish is well-integrated with a slightly boozy aftertaste

Mouthfeel: Full bodied and creamy with low carbonation

Overall: A bit less assertive and more integrated than the 2022 version but that may be the result of six months in the bottle
