From Good Times Oakland, 2024 Vintage.
It pours black, foam I had to get with a hard pour. Tan it is, foam shrunk quickly leaving some lacing behind.
The smell is roasted malt, Bourbon, dark chocolate, toffee, tea(yes), vanilla. Very complex.
The taste is roasted malt, Bourbon, dark chocolate and vanilla, tannins from the tea, and the alcohol is not shy. Explosion of flavours. Some lactose as per the label.
Full bodied with good carbonation, wow. I would drink this again.
