12 ounce can into a goblet. Released 9/10/20, had 10/5/20.

Pours a semi opaque darker copper color, with a half inch foamy head and some light foamy lacing. Aromas of bourbon, cinnamon, vanilla, grapes, malt, cherries, some caramel. Flavors of bourbon, cinnamon, vanilla, malt, grapes, some cherries, light caramel. Smooth, a good medium body that’s a little thinner for the style, well carbonated.

The vanilla and cinnamon give this a different profile than the regular barrel aged. Both are great, but the barrel presence is really diminished and the body is a little lighter.
