This pours clear dark brown with lots of ruby under a large mocha head. Sweet candy aroma. The flavor is sweet, moderately complex with brown sugar and dark fruits. Some alcohol comes through towards the finish. This could probably use a little age on it to suit me better.

22oz bottle pours courtesy of Dak. It has a clear amber body with ruby red hues and supporting a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up big somewhat harsh cherry and booze but then some molasses, thick sweet malts and brown sugar covered sweeter cherry notes come in and help smooth it out. The taste has full firm notes of cherries, molasses and then a nice brown sugar coated cherries and prunes sort of sensation. It begins to lean toward resiny hops toward the finish that seem to poke up here and there. This seems a little rough around the edges but nothing a bit of cellar time won’t smooth out.

On tap. Pours a dark brown with little head. Aromas of oatmeal, coffee, and roasted malts. Flavors are similar with the addition of a lactose hint. Smooth though somewhat light.

Bottle. Pours clear deep mahogany with a small tan head that dissipates quickly but leaves some lacing. Aroma is carmal, toffee, bourbon, vanilla. Flavor is much the same plus some astringency and character from the wood. Medium sweet, little bitterness. A bit on the hot side on the finish. Tastes much more like a BA wee heavy than an old ale, but what the hey :)
