2022 vintage; consumed on 3/19/2024
Pours viscous, oil-black void, crawling into the glass with no foam whatsoever forming and little more than the occasional, translucent leg forming temporarily on the walls; a persistent, blank slate, near-still beyond the immense liquid.
Aroma brings heavy oak carrying dry rickhouse residuals as a deeper plum note advances toward undertones of caramel, toffee, and roasty vanillins.
Taste offers maple taffy and toffee hard candy upfront, with a subliminal dark cacao char balanced by slight plum undertones past the mid-palate as melted milk chocolate lingers through the finish.
Mouthfeel shows a full body sporting virtually no carbonation whatsoever, dispersing a creamy slickness atop subtle roast, progressing to a back end just shy of sticky and a glossy, warming coating through the swallow.
Imposing density yields a raw barrel focus prevailing over the malty muck as a roasty expansion breeds sincere depth despite the sheer weight of the texture proving somewhat limiting.
