16oz can "CANNED ON -CRISPY BOI >3 02/07/23 1411" and poured into a snifter shows a shiny, maple-brown, headless body that, with agitation, generates a viscous/oily film on the glass with tiny spots of lacing that leg it back to the body.
Aromas of roast malt and rye whiskey envelope the nose coated in vanilla, cocoa, and booze. I can lose myself in this aroma with a smile on my face.
Flavors match. The adjuncts seamlessly align with the rye spice notes to evince an evenly sweet experience. Roast malts and whiskey are enjoyed completely side by side combined with vanilla and chocolate without devolving into bakery sweetness.
Mouthfeel is creamy and slick, yet still finishes with a whiskey remainder that needs no water back. No real booze heat, especially given the abv, yet it threatens.
Overall a great barrel integration and enjoyable sipper.

thanks to Ken for always finding Pollyanna rarities!
L: jet black body, dark brown head dissipates quickly
S: roasted barley, boozy whiskey, dark cocoa, vanilla
T: boozy whiskey, roast & char, dark chocolate, vanilla, spicy rye, caramel, dark fruit, white pepper, earthy hops
F: fuller body, a boozy and warming sipper, ample carbonation, modestly sweet and modestly bitter finish
O: decadent flavors and a great beer all around. The rye and the whiskey keep the sweetness at bay and everything comes together wonderfully
