Poured at fridge temp. Pours a murky brown with almost zero head. The nose is very bourbon forward, which makes sense given the amount of time aged. Rich toffee, figs, raisins, vanilla, light brown sugar, and a bit of stone fruit. Super smooth.

The taste is equally as boozy as the nose suggested. But it's not hot - just a really nice intense barrel character that is also quite smooth. Compliments the toffee and fruit really nicely. A bit of brown sugar, apricot, strawberry jam, vanilla, and a lot of malts. Crazy how smooth this is for a beer that is basically 15% ABV.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and the aftertaste is bourbon and toffee. Lovely beer overall.
