500 ml bottle into a snifter. Released 11/2022, had 9/15/23.

Pours near black and opaque, with a brief head and some oily cling. Aromas of bourbon, malt, vanilla, oak, leather, some maple. Has a light, spicy aroma. Flavors of bourbon, maple, vanilla, malt, oak, some leather. Also has a somewhat spicy flavor. Smooth, a thinner fuller body, appropriately carbonated.

The Widow Jane barrels are excellent and the maple barrels are a good compliment. Distinct aromas and flavors. Has a bit of a thinner feel than the usual Neckbeard entry, but it works. Very enjoyable.

Brownish black body topped by a light brown head. Smell is full with big dark fruit that are maple dipped, contrasted with smoky bourbon, dark chocolate, black strap molasses, and oak. Taste is short lived sickly sweet maple and fruit, then earthy and robust barrel. Feel is smooth, thinner than expected because of giant booze, oak strong too, balance could be tweaked a bit here
