12 oz boxed. Aroma has notes of booze, orange, lemon, nuts, Worcestershire sauce, sherry. Pours hazy brownish amber with a thin beige head that falls into a ring immediately. Taste is moderately to highly sweet, moderately tart, with a faintly bitter hoppy edge. Seems a little oxidized, which I think is where I’m getting the Worcestershire/Sherry element.

12oz bottle pours with a plum mahogany colored body that supported a short lived near white ring of bubbles. The aroma offers up plums and sweet raisins as well as an earthy dirt note and thin wafers of vague boozy spirits. The taste begins with that sweet dark fruitiness of plums, figs and raisins. It then pushes into a faint tannin like red wine sensation mixed with boozy cognac. Interesting but not altogether in a good way. Decent sipper.

12 oz bottle from Firestone online. Nose is cognac, lemon zest, toffee, and woody musk. Rusty brown with a medium, lightly lacing, tan head. Flavor is more like a SideCar cocktail that inspired the recipe than a beer.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours clear, but very dark, brown with a transient, slight tan head. Aroma of malt, white wine and brandy. Arguably full bodied. It's not dry. Various things, including heat, stand in for bitter. Flavor is roasty malt with white wine, brandy, wood, citrus and more. Complex, but very tasty. A touch of leather in the finish.
