Bottle. Ok, so we take a beer and make it taste like an "Old-Fashioned" mixed drink. Can it be done? Well, considering it is a beer I believe Alltech pulled it off. The color is like a carbonated Old Fashioned with a small head. Aroma and taste is like an Old Fashioned with a splash beer added to it. Not bad.
