Pours a drab and opaque caramel with a thin tan head reducing to a persistent cap and spotty lacing. I believe it resembles a caramel apple in this bulbed glass.
Nose is caramel sauce, brown sugar, rye bread, and black cherry. Some vanilla and oak character works its way in subtly due to the barrel aging.
Taste follows suit with a surprising bitter hop character showing through towards the end of the sip.
Mouthful is smooth and mouthcoating but not oily. Velvety may be a good term to use here. Overall, very impressed. 4/5 across the board.

Pours a clear, dark, amber-orange body, appears murky in the glass; nice head, frothy, modest sudsy density; long-lasting. Dry, woody note; phenolic; very muted caramel notes. Caramel and very strong whiskey flavors. Heavy body; bold boozy heat.
While this edition seems a bit of an improvement over the 2022 edition, this beer is just to brash and unbalanced.
ABV: n/a (guestimated at 12%); pouring temperature: 53.7 °F; bottling info: 2024; bottle 44 of 120

Murky, flat brown body appearance; thin ring of foam encircling the interior of the glass. Bourbon on the nose with a light malt and spiciness included. Taste brings elements of raw wood and whiskey to the palate; phenols; chewing tobacco; anise; a touch of malt lurking in the background. Heavy mouthfeel; flat; sharp overall booziness.
Not very impressive. One-dimensional with its rawness and booziness. Lacks depth and complexity.
