12oz bottle - lightly hazy copper pour - they must have aged this batch on oak, because it dominates the nose and flavor - at first, it is pleasant, adding notes of vanilla, but it soon because overbearing and bitter, like sucking on a plank - some sugar, spicy alcohol, a bit of raisin - some vegetal notes are, sadly, some of the strongest characteristics to get past the oak - poorly done.
