12 ounce can into a snifter. Canned 11/5/20, had 6/28/21.
Pours an opaque dark brown, with a quarter inch quickly dissipating head and light spotty lacing. Aromas of roasted malt, vanilla, berries- blackberry and raspberry?, caramel, chocolate, a little bourbon, some oak. Flavors of roasted malt, chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, berries, light caramel, a little hop bitterness midway through the finish. Smooth, a good full body, appropriately carbonated.
The berries and vanilla show well, the barrels are on the lighter side. It all works together nicely, nothing dominates. Very enjoyable.

thanks to Josh for picking up the variant 4-pack for me
L: near black body, vague purple hues at the very edges; thinner tan head
S: boozy bourbon, berries, oak, dark chocolate, lactose
T: sweet lactose, chocolate covered berries, vanilla, oaky bourbon, roasted barley
F: fuller body, ample carbonation, sweet finish
O: good, but ends up being too sweet by the end of the can
