Sampled from the tap at the Kedzie location. Pours a near clear deep brown with a slight amber hue and a small gray head that dissipates completely. Aroma is very bourbon forward with vanilla and backing dark grains and dark fruit. Flavor has strong bourbon and vanilla with an alcohol burn backed by sweet dark grains and dark fruit. Too boozy.
