tap at 800 Degrees in Ft Wayne - Pours dakr amber brown with a small head. The aroma is full of bourbon. The flavor is fairly sweet with lots of bourbon plus underlying caramel malt and a hint of rye. It’s medium to full bodied. The bourbon dominates and lingers in the finish.

Hand bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours with a deep brown body and an off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, oatmeal, oak, brown sugar, rye and barrel. Taste is alcohol, brown sugar, banana esters, fruit. Light bubbles. Pretty darn good.

Served on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark ruby-brown color with a large creamy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of bourbon, caramel, toffee and berries. The taste is bourbon, toffee, light berry-like fruits and a very very faint hoppiness in the finish. Medium bodied and strongly carbonated. Decent, but I’d like a little more beer with my bourbon.
