God damn the 2018 ba old numbskull is so vibrant and primed for a long residence in the cellar. After having 2008 barrel aged ON last week it reminded me how bulletproof this oaky massively boozy alpha acid bomb holds up over time. The price point stings the malt ring a bit but this new small format is so banging and manageable. Across all temps it’s so well integrated, fig jam and cognac soaked currants. Str8 Oaky knife hits off the stove.

Still can’t believe Colton and Tia went home on Bachelor in Paradise.
