From a 16oz can. 2023 release aged in Driftless Glen barrels. Canned on 10/10/2023
This beer has a nice dark amber color to it, and is fairly clear looking when I hold it to the light. The head is a 1 finger tan colored head. Considering the age and ABV, it is decent. There's no lacing on the glass.
The aroma is quite strong and complex, and I know I won't be able to describe it well. There's so much caramel and toffee. There's an earthy character to the aroma. The aroma is boozy and I do get the bourbon notes off it, which makes me want to go to Wisconsin, and get a Driftless Glen bottle.
The flavor is also intense. I get the caramel earthiness in the flavor. I get leather notes. Toffee is strong. Lots of vanilla notes and oak from the barrels used. There's hints of molasses. So much going on here, and I just can't put words to it all.
The body is so damn full feeling. Smooth as hell. There's a bubbly feeling to this beer. It almost has a creamy feeling to it.
Wow, This is damn amazing, and it also makes me want to try the bourbon it was aged on. Road trip to Wisconsin.
