Drank 12/31/2025. No packaged date on the can, but seems to be an annual winter release - this can being from 2024 release. So, likely about a year old.
Pour is black with a light fizzy cap of deep khaki foam that doesn't last too long
Nose is heavy on vanilla, marshmallow, bourbon, chocolate.
Taste follows. Heavy on vanilla upfront, followed by soft bourbon, chocolate, hints of fudge. Alcohol is well masked, but warming in your belly.
Full bodied. Not overly thick or sweet/cloying. Easy to continue drinking.

A nicely made beer. Forward on the vanilla, but not so much as to dominate everything else. Nicely balanced. Not too sweet. Wouldn't mind a bit more prominent bourbon, but very enjoyable!
