RandumInk: …today’s “standards” are complete garbage. This is in the vein of North Coast’s BA Old Rasputin if you’re looking for a correlate. So drinkable even at the ABV.

Bottle
Thanks so much, AAA — Quite the blend for this 15th Anniversary M&C; I’m sure I was primed for it since I knew it was a thread, but that Tawny Port finished component is awesome here—not full on Port like Port Damon, but this brings some awesome…

RandumInk is drinking a Double Barrel Truth (2026) by Tree House Brewing Company at The Germans
