It’s been a year and a half since I had the original version of this beer, so I have next to nothing to compare to. Draft 9 Oz pour at Postdoc, during their Barrel Fest. Reddish copper pour with a quick fade head. Very soft aroma with some whiskey and subtle hop content. Flavor us a wonderful oak, and created cherry flavor, with smooth and sweet whiskey tones. Nice to see a low alcohol beer that packs a big beer punch in whiskey and oak flavor. All climbed over a solid rye background. Mostly dry finish. Much anticipated beer for me, and a very good one that was worth the wait.
