A brown beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of bourbon, alcohol, roasted malt, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, bourbon, alcohol, and roasted malt, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light. 8/3/7/2/14

CBC Session 1. Lightly hazy deep amber beer, tiny pale tan head. Light dry palate. Fine carbonation provides mild crispness. Light vanilla balances well with mild tangy bourbon. Touch of dark cherry and dark fruits. Light dry finish. Tasty!
