Big thanks to Terminus for popping this at the Annual Black Friday tasting. It pours amber with copper edges and a thin tan head of foam. The aroma is sweetness, apples, brown sugar, a cinnamon note and the mild booze. The taste is rich and pretty smooth with brown sugar coated sweet red apple wedges and prunes and then moving into smooth bourbon like boozy notes. Nice stuff.

Bottle @ home, picked up at Argonaut Denver. Pours a touch hazy, reddish brown appearance with a mild brown head. Spicy toffee, a touch smoky, bourbon, mild port, dark fruity, plum, fig aroma. Chewy dark fruity, fig, plum, raisin, caramel, chocolate, sweet bourbon, vanilla, tannic flavor with a slightly strong, yet dessert like finish. A lot going on and quite nice. Nice warmer for a cool night.

Bottle from a trade with ketchepillar. Pours dark reddish brown color with tan head. Aromas of toffee, vanilla, wood and Bourbon. Sweet caramel and vanilla flavors with Bourbon and some woodiness. The Bourbon adds a nice flavor and is not too overpoweing. Medium to full body with soft carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel. Thanks Sam.
