Hm, I know I'm a nitpicker, but still- The small tan head disappeared pronto and the color, when held up to a 100 w bulb in the narrow part of the glass, is a hazy garnet. Aromas are cocoa and dark ripe fruit, toffee. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet and with a very long boozy finish.Trying to imagine how this would cellar... just lose some of the alcohol heat? It's already very mellow.

750ml bottle (694/2160) from footbalm, thanks man
Pours muddy brown with a small beige head, some light lacing. Aroma is woody, whiskey, vanilla and dark fruit. Taste is wet wood, caramel, vanilla, whiskey, some hot alcohols, dry finish
Good, but thin mouthfeel and nothing stands out other than the barrel and whiskey. Not a bad thing, just depends on what you are looking for.

Pours a reddish-copper with little to no head. Aroma is of dark fruit, almost a wine smell. Flavor is fruity, sweet, boozy. Not sure I really care for this too much.
