Opaque dark brown to black with a small beige head of moderate retention. Fruity esters, roasted & toasted, prunes, cherry liqueur, chocolate, almonds, subtle bourbon, oak tannins, sufficient ending hop bitterness. Light sweet, light to medium hop bitterness. Very good.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Opaque dark brown beer, decent tan head. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, a touch of dark malt cream, modest chocolate. To be Frank, this beer is a delivery mechanism for its bourbon barrel. And that is fine and dandy with me. Rich ripe fruity bourbon, if you told me this had seen Port, Brandy and Tequila barrells, I'd have believed you. Vanilla and savoury wood on the back end. Whoo boy, nothing here I haven't tasted many many times before so, the impressive thing about this brew is how that punches through my 'been there and drank that' default and says wake up old man and taste this. I hear ya and I taste it and what I taste is rather good! Wha

Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers to Dave. Pours black-brown with a creamy, beige cap. Medium to big sweet flavour with nice stewed dark fruit character, a little molasses, bourbon, vanilla, toffee, booze. Full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Warming finish with more bourbon, raisins, chocolate, barrel, slight earthy bitterness. Outstanding.
