12 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is dominated by the tequila barrels, with obvious orange peel undertones, toasted malt, and a hint of vanilla. Flavour likewise reveals a nice marriage of the tequila barrels and orange peel, with subtle vanilla, gentle cocoa, and lightly sweet maltiness. That tequila presence is real nice and the orange peel is tasteful. Very good.

Dark brown. Thin head. Big barrel aroma, goes well with the fruity depths of the base beer. Well-balanced. The base is big, flavoursome, complex, and then the treatment is very good here.
