An "experimental brew" according to their menu, this beer is "carbonated in the cask with bourbon-soaked cherries," and is served at "cellar temperature." Anyway, the sight is gorgeous. Deep brown, with specks of spice lingering about. Small head. Smell is very appealing as well: roasted nuts, cherries, and other lingering aromas make this complex. Flavor is very much like their other nut brown. Two complaints: this beer would definitely benefit from being slightly chilled. I don’t think this was quite "cellar temperature," but more room-temperature, as it was nearly warm. Other complaint is the lack of carbonation... felt like drinking beer that had sat out all day and lost a lot of its punch. I hope they keep experimenting with it- this one has the potential to be outstanding.
