Waxed bomber from CraftShack. Pours very hazy amber/brown with a slight/transient beige/tan head. Aroma of both fresh pale stone and dark fruits. And bourbon notes. Arguably full bodied. Flavor is somewhat astringent pale stone fruits, date/fig, kandi/brown sugar and bourbon notes with musty oak hints. Malt is more brown sugar than anything to me. Halfway to dry; heat (which is moderate) substitutes for bitter. It has an overall fruit/bourbon/malt thing which seems pretty complex. Very pleasing. To me, if not to others. Sad for them.
