Draft. Black. Tall. No head worth mentioning. This one has wood. And bourbon. And a but of vanilla, cocoa, coffee. A big beer.

Draft at Holy Grale. Murky purple brown color, off white head, definitely an ugly beer. The aroma and taste make up for it though, with tons of sour berries in the nose, and flavors of sweet and sour cherries and grapes. Very nice.

Draft at Holy Grale, courtesy of Tyler - thank you sir! Cloudy golden brown color, off white large bubble head. Aroma of sour plums, raisins, cherries. Taste is softly sour spiced cranberries, vanilla, background of bourbon. The bourbon is a bit more evident in this one. Very tasty.
