Draft - Lots of caramel, bourbon, vanilla and barrel notes. Cloudy copper. Bourbon, caramel, vanilla and some booze burn. Probably better than I am giving it credit for, had quite a few of these in the last couple of days.

On tap at Seattle Winter Beer Festival 2014, pours a hazy orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out caramel malts, loads of whiskey and toasted nuts. Flavour is complex as hell, with toasted walnuts, whiskey barrels, and light booze. Elegant and complex, with walnuts upfront. Wonderful stuff.
