Pint can pours with a murky mahogany colored body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up caramelized malts, modest vague hop bitterness, plum like dark fruity esters and then spicy rye booze. The taste delvers smooth malts heading quickly into spicy rye booze and spicy to pine like hoppiness. It becomes increasingly sweet to midway as the oak and bourbon bubble up to the surface. Toward the finish the booziness comes forward and helps finish the experience. This is a great sipper.
