Pours flat, dark brown. Aroma of alcohol, dates, tobacco, fairly strong barrel influence, even bringing heat into the finish. Big bodied finish, too, lots of sugars and dark fruits. I don't actually get much smoke. Solid work, more bw than old ale, but still, I like it.

Poured from 12 fl oz bottle. Hazed medium dark brown with very minimal off white head. Leather and tobacco with dark fruits and a bit of barrel quality. Really nice.

12 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark brown, maybe a bit of mahogany tinge in there, with a small off-white head. Nose is luscious and complex, with lots of whiskey barrel, smoked malt, leather, and tobacco. Flavour reveals a lot of the cherry wood, with moderate sweetness, bready toffee, leather, and a hint of smoke. All malt-driven, with a delicate barrel presence that aids the oily palate. Complex, balanced and integrated beautifully. Excellent.

12 oz waxed. 11.5% ABV. Aroma has notes of toffee, barrel, caramel, cashew brittle, vanilla, earth, whiskey, light raisin, light sherry. Pours root beer brown with an immediately collapsing beige head. Taste is highly sweet, a little savory, and lightly smoky with toffee sweet barrel-aged flavors. Soft carbonation and an oily mouthfeel. A pleasant fireside sipper.

12oz bottle from ES shared with Andrey. Appearance: hazy brown with a beige head. Aroma: tons of bourbon, dark fruits notes. Taste: along the same lines with creamy notes from oak. Not sure where is the smoke, though, hehe. Overall: nice one.
