Draught pour at Clybourn served by....Adan! 12/1/23. A bit hazy, drab caramel-amber. Off-white head to ring immediately. Rum raisin, pepper, cherry, mellow alcohol ester. Oxidized notes of sherry with paper and vegetal character though not in a bad way. Don't get the cherry or orange. Orange peel zestiness with honey and toffee like maltiness drying out heavily with earth and sherry. I actually think the orange peel mimics oxidation or sherry...so there's not really any of that. Soft, sweet, rich, earthy, peppery. Bit muddled with intermittent alcohol. Wouldnt mind significantly more bourbon, though I think these were older generation barrels and it was left too long in them.
