From the hand numbered 16.9 oz bottle in a snifter (NOT the BBW version evidently by ABV).
This monster pours a murky muddled brown color with a fizzling head that singes to a razor thin ring
with some decent legs. Nose of heavy bourbon, brown sugars, oak, vanilla, toffee, dates, brandy, and
astringent alcohol notes. Flavors follow the nose with rich yet mellow bourbon, rich oak, earthy malts,
vanilla, toffee, dates, figs, brandy nuances, raisin bread, and dark berry notes of blackberry and raspberry
dashed with brown sugars. Mouth feel is medium, faint carbonation, smooth, warming, and finishing
moderately dry.
Overall, stellar but unsure on the brew itself, no other visuals online, was the only bottle at Kenny Road Beer
Zone in Columbus, and marked on the side with 2025.....really nice but kind of a mystery.
Cheers
