12 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Released 12/13/24, had 6/7/25.
Pours a medium orange amber color, somewhat clear, with a quarter inch foamy head and some foamy lacing. Aromas of bourbon, caramel, oak, light apple. Flavors of bourbon, oak, caramel, light vanilla and apple. Smooth, a good but maybe light body for the style, well carbonated.
Barrel, caramel and oak with a little apple thrown in. Wish this annual effort was a little more malt heavy like it used to be earlier on. This is a very light bodied example of the style. Still, it’s well done and tasty.
