This one pours a nice dark brown color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.
This smells like charred oak, caramelized dark fruit, toffee, burnt sugar, and oak.
There’s a lot of barrel character here, and it’s definitely strong, but doesn’t taste that boozy, with wonderfully complex notes of maple, toffee, brown sugar, oak, vanilla, and some un-barleywine-like chocolate notes.
This is thick but not syrupy, and warming but not boozy, with a nice drinkability.
This series is absolutely high end and top notch.
