Pint can pours with a murky deep copper to mahogany colored body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy malt blunted oak, molasses, bourbon and the more oak. The flavor offers up some spicy oak nuanced bitter spicy oak and then malts and molasses. To midway a pleasing level of bitter hops wells up to balance out the sweet malts and the mild level of sweet fruity esters goodness. I ends with an up welling of booze and bourbon joining in along with the other notes. This is nice but is strong with the bitter spicy oak and booze.
