Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark amber/brown/mahogany colored with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate. Once it did, mild lace met the rim of the beer
Aroma: low amount of roasted malt, light tones of bourbon barrel, candy-like dark fruits, slight vinegar, green apples
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a sour to sweet to tart to roasty and earthy conglomeration; mild finish of the bourbon barrel, dark fruits and earthy vibes
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper! Some smoothness but also a lot of dryness
Overall: as far as I know this is very good for this style and for me but I really need a lot of water after this because it's as dry as it is.
