750 ml bottle courtesy of beastiefan2k. Pour is slightly hazed ruby brown with a smallish off white head. Aroma of soft oak woodiness, some faint sour cherry odor. Taste is the oak wood, the sour cherries, and fairly evident alcohol. It’s mostly about the barrel. Bunch of tannin, some vanilla, butterscotch, wood, wood and a woody finish. This was decent enough, I give credit to Mueller for making this style. Thanks for sharing Eugene!
