Bottle at Wtf 2, pours a very dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong cherry skin, wood, roast. Medium mouth, tart cherry, wood, chocolate, light roast finish, very good.

Bottle: Poured a dark burgundy color ale with a large off-white foamy head with light retention. Aroma of sweet dry fruits, with some light chocolate notes and some bourbon/vanilla notes. Taste is a complex mix of chocolate, sweet dry fruits notes, light molasses, some residual sugar notes and some bourbon and vanilla notes. Body is about average with good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Intriguing experiment with great flavours but lacking some cohesion.

A hazed dark amber brown ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with treacle, candy sugar, dark fruits, plums, licorice notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light coconut oil, chocolate, light coffee, treacle and dark fruits, molasses, alcohol warmth, very nice. Bottle from Boutip.

Bottle thanks to bauermj. Pours clear hazel, quite large beige head, kinda fizzy, diminishes to a decent residual with good lacing. Aroma is dusty, some bourbon, caramel, some toffee. Flavor is light plus sweet, oak, bourbon, dark sugars, perhaps cherry. Very light bitterness, some ABV heat. Medium body.
