22 ounce orange wax capped bottle, 2021 vintage, bottle # 0031/1400. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. I like the aroma, the brew smells like bourbon, burnt/charred malt, vanilla, orange liqueur, dark fruit and coffee. For the most part I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but there's the addition of some dark chocolate and oaky flavors. Orange flavor starts off a bit weak but kicks in more as the brew warms up. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's slick and a bit syrupy with a moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this brew, wish the orange had a little more punch to it but that's a minor complaint. Worth trying if you get the chance to!
