Bottle @ The Mansfield, New York. Pours reddish golden with a creamy offwhite head, lacings. Aroma of malt, light caramel, bread, little red marmalade, old fruity hops. Flavor is sweet and very light bitter, malt, bready, marmalade, sweet fruit. Medium body, soft to average carbonation, sweet finish. Stale and boring, but still great as its my 3rd last US state to rate, so 2 to go. 220418

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 4/6/2019. Pours crystal clear medium orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, lemon, cherry, berries, orange peel/zest, ginger, clove, cinnamon, pepper, wood, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, bourbon, oak, and toasted bread; with light notes of caramel, toffee, coconut, and herbal earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruit, citrus, spices, dark/bready malts, and light-moderate bourbon barrel notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, lemon, cherry, berries, orange peel/zest, ginger, clove, cinnamon, pepper, wood, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, bourbon, oak, and toasted bread; with light notes of caramel, toffee, coconut, and herbal earthiness. Mild herbal/zesty bitterness, bourbon/oak spiciness, and fruit tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, lemon, cherry, berries, orange peel/zest, ginger, clove, cinnamon, pepper, wood, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, bourbon, oak, toasted bread, light toffee/coconut, and herbal earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit, citrus, spices, dark/bready malts, and light-moderate bourbon barrel flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness and fruit tartness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky/tannic/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 9.25%, with zero barrel booziness lingering after the finish. Overall this is an excellent fruited/spiced strong ale style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit, citrus, spices, dark/bready malts, and light-moderate bourbon barrel flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the big ABV; with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very impressed, tastes just like the cocktail inspiration. Perfectly balanced vibrant fruit/citrus/spice and malt sweetness; not a ton of barrel, but definitely adequate. A very enjoyable offering, and well made experimental style example.

Pours a slightly purple/berry color. Has only a slightly sweet flavor, bit more of a tart fruit taste like an underripe berry.

Very flavorful and never watery for the ABV. Well balanced fruit and pale malt flavors; with solid earthy hop presence. Flavors did not match up to the aromas on fruit presence, but this was still a very enjoyable and well made offering.
