Sampling a cellar temperature waxed and capped 750 ML bottle (#114/230). Picked up from the brewery upon its release.
The wax is super hard to get off of the bottle, but eventually I pop the cap.
Pouring the beer into my snifter the beer pours pitch black with no light passing through. A frothy tan head of 3 cm foams up and creates windowpane lattice on my glass as it fades. Eventually this foam is only a thin edge layer.
The aroma on this beer is some dark chocolate and a good dose of molasses and brown sugar. I also get some roasted malt notes and almost a bit of charred wood, from the Mezcal? No hop character to note, and the booze is hidden on the nose.
First sip reveals a medium body with thinner texture than I would have expected. the beer drinks very easy and smooth on the physical traits.
Flavor is roasted malt, dark chocolate, and a good dose of molasses and brown sugar. I also get some dry wooden notes, some light booze notes on the finish that lingers long after each sip. Not a lot of warming or hot booze notes, more black peppery bite and a little tequila - esque flavor. I dont get any real hop character on this beer and I find that I am sipping it throughout the sampling.
glad I bought this brew and look forward to future iterations of the beer. I think I enjoy this barrel aged version more than then regular one.
