Bottle, TWSP. Hope this is good as I ended up with two (whoops!). Murky brown with a small beige head. Orange, tangerine, plum, caramel, booze nose. Flavor is caramel, orange peel and orange, booze, fig, wood. Good but really boozy (well, yea, it is 13.1%).

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. 1/15/20. Clear dark copper red, thin foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of orange, cherry, oak, toffee, and a buttery note. Taste is toffee, raisin, orange, tart cherry, oak, vanilla, whiskey. Medium-full bodied. Boozy, but not too bad for the ABV. Sweet, but well balanced by the booze. Overall, quite a nice sipper.

Draft pour at Dominion Wine & Beer's upstairs. Poured a clear, amber-orange color with a very small, almost wispy white head. Aroma was kind of just there, not a lot of Grand Mariner, at least not as much as I was hoping. Light orange, some alcohol burn. Not super malty, not super anything. A little hot.
