Peach, apple, caramel malt, light bourbon, and grass aroma. Hazy amber with giant tan head. Moderately sweet peach, orange, apple, caramel malt, and lightly bitter hay/grass flavor. Good body - nice bourbon flavor in the finish. Fruity and pleasant.

On tap at Two Roads, pours a hazy dark copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle bourbon notes upfront, without any other character. Flavour is along the same lines, with gentle bourbon barrels, with a touch of tart fruit. Nicely done, with a dominating bourbon presence that manages not to overdo it. Solid.
