750 ml bottle. The beer is dark brown with shades of mahogany. Smallish head, light tan color. Fades pretty quickly. Lots of spice, sweetness and barrel in the aroma. Big cardamom and clove but you can find the whole mishmash list of ingredients. Nothing really pulls it together, though. Pretty strong rye barrel spiciness. Big caramel backbone. Fairly sweet but not terribly over sweet for the style and strength. Tons of spice in the taste, as well. Fairly woody, particularly in the finish which gives a mild hit of bitterness. Very little cherry flavor. Medium body, a bit syrupy. It’s pretty much a spice mess. Way too much going on with no focus. I just don’t get this one. It doesn’t really taste like an Old Fashioned, and the spicing is just terribly unbalanced.

Poured form a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is super spice forward with lots of cardamom and cloves. Lighter juniper, cinnamon and orange notes. Some light bourbon and rye notes with hints of oak. Light toasted bread and cracker malt notes. Light cherry and raisin notes. Pours brown with a medium thick, tan head that recedes slowly to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and moderate legs. Flavor is moderately sweet with some light toasted bread, biscuit and caramel notes. Moderately strong spice notes with clove and cardamom being most prevalent followed by juniper and cinnamon. Light orange notes. Light rye and bourbon notes with hints of oak. light alcohol spice. Moderately strong bitterness and a bit astringent. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Medium low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, this beer is a disgusting drain pour, but people who like swallowing tablespoons of spices will like this beer. So much spice and almost nothing else. This is everything I don’t like in beer.
