On tap. Pours with a black body with a medium sized tan head that sticks around and leaves good lacing. Aromas of brown sugar, molasses, toffee, fudge, bourbon, vinous, esters, raisins, dakr fruits, wet wood, acetic acid, and mildly lactic. Tons of vanillin. Huge barrel notes. Flavors are sour, very acetic/vinegary. Tastes huge, some fusel, toffee, fudge, nail polish, bourbon. Really big. Cherry, vinous, splinters. Long duration. A bit harsh and unrefined but still quite tasty and interesting. Very warming (I have a hard time believing that it is only 8%. Medium bubbles with some acetic burn on the finish.
