375ml bottle at the late December DC RB Tasting. Poured a clear ruby red color with a small tan head. Aroma was very light bourbon, tart cherries. Surprisingly mild bourbon, with some cherry and woody notes.

From a 375ml shared at the RB Dec 30, 2018, gathering. Pours a clear mahogany with a tan head head. Aromas are tart cherries. Flavors are sour cherries.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clear copper to brown with a small bit of beige head that dissipates. Tart cherry, oak and light toffee notes all over the nose. Oak really comes out strong on the palate, with smooth cherry and vanilla notes. Not overly tart or acidic. Oak really balances out the tartness. Smooth finish with cherry, wet hay and oak. Some of bourbon notes come out on the finish as it warms, but neither too boozy or too much barrel here. Well executed.
