The Aromas are caramel, malt, some cherries and a bit sour. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, not a lot of cherry, sour comes out more with a little sweet. Decent body and carbonation.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass; unreadable bottle code, but is a recent release. Pours fairly hazy reddish orange/copper color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lightly tart/sour/tangy red/black cherries, almond, fruit skin/pits, lemon, peach, pear, red apple, red grape, white wine, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, toasted oak, caramel, brown sugar, and bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty funk, bourbon, vanilla, band aids, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruit/spicy/acidic yeast, cherries, dark/bready malts, and bourbon barrel notes; with great strength. Mildly unpleasant from band aid notes, but not overpowering. Taste of big lightly tart/sour/tangy red/black cherries, almond, fruit skin/pits, lemon, peach, pear, red apple, red grape, white wine, hay, straw, grass, toasted oak, caramel, brown sugar, and bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty funk, bourbon, vanilla, peppercorn, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and yeast/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy red/black cherries, almond, fruit skin/pits, lemon, peach, pear, red apple, red grape, white wine, hay, straw, grass, toasted oak, caramel, brown sugar, bread, light bourbon/vanilla/funk, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit/spicy/acidic yeast, cherries, dark/bready malts, and bourbon barrel flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance; and zero puckering flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from tartness, tangy fruit, and yeast/oak spiciness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 10.1%. Overall this is a delicious fruited Flanders red ale style. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit/spicy/acidic yeast, cherries, dark/bready malts, and bourbon barrel flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV; with the mellowly lactic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Other than the mildly unpleasant aromas, the taste was spot on for the style. Great balanced fruit, malts, and yeast complexity; with nice bourbon barrel presence. Not overly lactic or sour. A very enjoyable offering.
