The cage on the 750 was a pain. I had to bend it back and forth and break it. Bottled April 5th 2016.
Pours a super dark brown, almost black. A 1" head of foam at the most after a vigorous pour. Retention is okay.
The smell is malty, fruity, has nice Bourbon notes and a hint of smoke.
The taste agrees with my palate. Nothing overdone. Smooth tasty malt and Bourbon with light smoke and some dark fruits.
Lightish carbonation in a medium bodied Scotch Ale.
Far from being my favourite style, this one pleases in all ways except the price. +$22 a bottle.
