This long-awaited iteration of Oblivion is a sour red ale aged with double the standard amount of blackberries and dates in bourbon barrels. These flavorful Kentucky barrels are then artfully blended to enhance the intense fruit and higher abv.

Bottle thanks to Kurt! Pours clear deep ruby mahogany, medium creamy tan head, dissipates slowly, great residual and lacing. Aroma is dark sugars, berries, dark fruits, bourbon, lemon, tart cherry. Flavor is medium sweet, hints of funk, bourbon and berry. Medium body, soft carbonation. Pretty tasty for a style I am not a huge fan of.
