12 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Released 12/13/24, had 7/3/25.

Pours a medium orange amber color, somewhat clear, with a brief foamy head and some foamy lacing. Aromas of orange peel, caramel, vanilla, light bourbon, light ginger and clove. Flavors of bourbon, orange peel, vanilla, caramel, some cinnamon and clove, light ginger and oak, a little nutmeg and allspice. Tastes a bit spicy. Smooth, a very good medium body, well carbonated.

This is really good. The vanilla and orange peel are the stars, the barrels show well in the flavor, and the spices are lightly done but impactful. A fine effort.
