Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a murky very dark brown color with a medium sized foamy tan head that faded quickly but left decent lacing. The aroma was strong with notes of red wine, whiskey, wood and tart dark fruits. The flavor was tart and fruity then yeasty with toffee, cracker, and a huge whiskey presence. The whiskey bombards you and lingers for quite a while before giving way to caramel, sugar and an odd herbal/medicinal undertone. Amazingly long finish. Moderately full bodied. Very interesting.
