Growler: Clear, copper-red with a small beige head. Toffee, a bit of berry in the aroma. Taste is toffee malt, grain .... Steady herbal bitter.....and a cumulative alcohol presence towards the finish. Smooth, though.....pretty good.

Draft: Cloudy, dark amber, with a short, off-white head. Mild grain, bourbon aroma. Flavour is caramel malt, bourbon..... Probably my imagination, but I almost thought it had a slight corn cob bitter/graininess. Pretty good.
