Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing this! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass amber coloured, small head. Alcoholic-spicy aroma. Starts intense malty, spicy, not as strong as exspected. Some herbal notes, some cinnamon. More and more warming-malty, shy alcohol, spices again. Finish well balanced. Warming malty. Nice one!

Bottle from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours amber with a modest beige head that didn't persist. Aroma of amber malt with some floral hop. Med body. It's malty but not all that undry. Balancing hop bitterness. The hops have a bite - so it's more than floral. Sort of toffee and grass/hay. Better than many ambers.

Bottle from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours dark brn/blk with a tan head. Aroma of bourbon and smooth toasted malt. Arguably full bodied. Far from dry. Burnt malt bitter. Flavor has treacle, burnt malt and bourbon/vanilla. Good for the "style".

12 oz. bottle
8.0% ABV
Date: 03/31/3025 (I'm assuming this is the bottled-on date)
$14.49 4-pk @ Publix
AROMA: Strong scents of bourbon and cherry followed by mild scents of vanilla and (strangely enough) chocolate.
APPEARANCE: Pours an clear dark-amber, with a thin, light-tan head that dissipates very quickly, with no lacing.
TASTE: I'm first hit with a fair amount of sweetness with a strong flavor of cherry. It then quickly transitions to a mild amount of tartness with mild flavors of bourbon, oak, and vanilla. The finish is slightly dry with just a hint more of that cherry tartness.
MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Carbonation is average.
OVERALL: Personally, I would have liked more tartness. Especially for something labeled "Tart Cherry". Having said that, I did find the flavor to be nice. It was sweet, but not overly sweet. And as the beer warmed, the bourbon and oak aromas really started to meld better with the flavors. Which made for a more enjoyable experience.

Pours a clear deep amber red. Not a ton of bourbon vanilla but standard pumpkin spice. Burny booze. Not bad.

Draught via Habitat pours a butterscotch slightly murky brown. Little head. Aroma is bourbin. Taste is sweet with some malts and vanilla. Ok but thin and needs more IMO.
