Can (2024) from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. Opaque dark brown, light sparkle, thin cap of head, light viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon, dark fruit, over vanilla. Taste is strong bourbon and dark fruit (almost like cherry cough syrup--dissipates as it warms), vanilla. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Bourbon a little too forward. Good but not great.

Savor: black with beige. Loads of vanilla plus some chocolate. The pure vanilla overpowers the whisky pretty solidly. Very drinkable.

4 oz. draft at EBF Boston, MA. 3 February, 2018. Pours a mostly opaque black brown colour with a thin tan head. Nose is a massive vanilla and hints of bourbon. Flavor is a mix of vanilla, bourbon, and a warming boozy finish. Vanilla lingers well after the sip leaving an oily texture over the tongue.
