12 ounce can into a snifter. Released 11/30/19, had 12/23/19.
Pours a chestnut color, semi opaque, with a short head and a few specks of lacing. Aromas of caramel, malt, toffee, dates, light apple brandy, oak, char as it warms, some butterscotch. Flavors of apple brandy, caramel, malt, butterscotch, oak, some figs, light tobacco. Smooth, a very good medium body, appropriately carbonated.
Lots of good caramel, butterscotch and apple brandy, especially in the flavor. Maybe not as strong overall as other years, but still really good and very enjoyable.

November 2019 release aged 1 year in Copper & Kings Apple Brandy Barrels.
12oz can poured into a taster glass, repeatedly. Cloudy, orangeish-copper colored, headless body which leaves a clean glass behind.
Aromas of crisp apple, booze, caramel, and wet oak.
Flavors of toffee, apple, caramel, oak, booze, and a slight veinous hint.
A clean medium mouthfeel leaves nothing but a great memory behind.
Overall a good sipper that hints at a boozy caramel apple.
