Pint can pours with a murky deep mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up an array of notes like sweet thick dark malt syrup, molasses, a bit of spicy black strap molasses and then tootsie roll and dates thinly rimmed in bourbon and booze. Wow. The taste delivers a rich complex medley that's sweet earthy dates edged in spicy black strap molasses, sweet dark malts, a thin bourbon nuanced earthy ashy note and then tootsie roll sweetness. Wow. To midway this picks up additional thin facets of smooth bourbon booze and a decent level of booze warmth. The barrel treatment to beer balance is superb. This is hitting on all cylinders. Crazy good sipper. Wow. Thanks Alex! Wow, that ebone1988 character doesn't have a clue.

Sample at NC Rare Beer Festival in Durham. Cloudy amber brown color. Vinous fruity aroma. Taste is sweet dark fruit, wine, tannins, vanilla, caramel. Very tasty.
