Bottle shared. Black with a small short lived beige head. Aroma of big bourbon/vanilla/oak barrel upfront with caramel, molasses, booze, dark chocolate, overripe dark fruit, alcohol, licorice and coffee. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with a sticky moderate thick texture, hot alcohol in the finish and soft carbonation.

Enjoyed on tap at the Owl in Chicago, IL before seeing the band Chain & The Gang. Appearance is a bright pinkish red with a thin white head. Aroma of light yeast, fruity, sour notes. Taste of sour raspberries, finishes crisp. Overall I think it's pretty good.

Sample at Great Taste of the Midwest on 08/09/2014: Dark amber color with a medium white head that diminishes gradually to a dense film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, tropical fruit and hops. Medium body with flavors of slightly smoky malt, fruity hops and caramel. The finish is malty up front with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.
