Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a muddy deep copper to mahogany colored body that supports a nice lasting tan head of foam. The aroma offers up fairly spicy smelling oak, some vanilla and then molasses and thin caramel with a boozy hit at the end of the draw. The taste starts smooth and sweet with a blend of molasses, caramel and bourbon flowing into mildly spicy oak and vanilla. It then gets into near firm booziness into the finish. This is a terrific smooth sipper.

On tap at Dragoon, pours a deep dark dirty mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out loads of bourbon barrels, dark fruits and heaps of caramel. Flavour is impeccably complex, with loads of elegant bourbon barrels showcasing their depth, followed by truckloads of caramel and dark dried fruits. Phenomenal depth and use of the barrels. It certainly is sweet but definitely not cloying. A work of art here.
