Boxed 12oz bottle, bought in 2021 and left in California until I cracked it open in January 2023. Interesting brew all round and a fine blend of some great sounding base beers. Deep darkest brown body, decent beige head that hung around for a while. Loads of boozy maltiness with a semi-sweet caramel like flavour. This a smoking jacket type of beer, sit back in an armchair and relax while sipping it.

Bottle straight from the Propagator. Pours an almost opaque dark colour and a small light beige head with good retention. Aroma's: bourbon, sweet, wood, umami, drop, black treacle. Retronasal it's sweet, wood, vanilla, drop, molasses, vanilla. Flavour is sweet, bourbon. Good carbonation. Long finish with a touch of bitterness. Awesome stuff as always.
