This underwhelmed. Mild flavor profile, a bit watery. Served in and with a risotto. Pretty lemon yellow coloring and fresh lemon notes on the nose, but fades. Was hoping for more given the price point.

Was offered one of these a couple years past release at its original price and snapped it up. Poured it at a family gathering alongside the base '19 since that comparison was fun the first go around. Definitely lets the pungency of the rye barrel shine through. Barrel char notes more pronounced than on the base beer. Enjoyed here 4yrs post vintage date and I'd say drink 'em now before the underlying cacao notes recede further.

Solid, confectioner's sugar and baker's bittersweet chocolate on the nose and then a classy milk chocolate core. paired with a Butterfinger!
