I tried this with me lovely wife at the Black Sheep Social Club in Iowa a bit over a year ago... There was more Butter, Caramel, Wood and Smokiness in this beverage then. Now they are bottling at 6% more proof than before, I'm not sure if this would change the Taste and Flavor profiles that much... PLEASE DO NOT GET ME WRONG... This is a Delicious Beverage, Sweet, Smooth, Spicy not overly complex. 1.31.21 Review - With Oxidation over about 5 months this beverage is as good as when I tried it in Iowa July 2019.
