Received a 750 ML bottle in a trade 1/14/2023 from BMBCLT, thanks beer brother! Consumed 500 ML 3-15-23 for review. A lot to take in at 14.0 abv.
Beer poured black with a nice brown head.
Nose is very interesting. Getting notes of medium roasted malts with a touch of maple and vanilla.
Taste is a fairly mild malt base that has acclimated nicely to the 15-month barrel aging time. Maple imparts a level of sweetness that is balanced nicely by the herbal/masala fenugreek and of course the nice warming bourbon barrel and hopping.
Mouthfeel is medium to large bodied with each sip being very smooth.
Overall a very nicely crafted beer!
