Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish light brown and deep tan head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of coffee, cereal malt, coconut and some dried figs with a little yeastiness and bread here as well with a touch of grain, but quite strong in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Relatively rich malts and sugars show through everything here and make this viscous and syrupy with some birch and maple syrup notes and a light molasses and fig/pitted fruit punch towards the end, without too much malts or complexity - this is straight-forward and relatively sweet without as much depth as i'd expect. Aftertaste shows the sweetness, a light dose of alcohol and a bunch of pitted fruits, but not much else and no real complexity here, which is very surprising for the style, but doesn't show anything bad, just neutral and nuanced without anything pungent. I sampled this five ounce pour on draught from Equinox Brewery /Taproom in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$5,00.

Tap at Equnox - hazy amber - the cab and bourbon barrels dominate this one - a lot of spicy oak, vanilla, mild vinous qualities - but instead of adding nuance, they make things messy - yeast profile is doughy - a lot of sharp esters - seriously strong, astringent alcohol - inelegant and hard to drink.
