500mL bottle, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out some tart dark cherries, a little vanilla, and a touch of oak -- this smells borderline infected. Flavour has some sour cherries, whiskey barrels, oak, and a touch of vanilla. Too much sour cherries, but as a BA Xmas cake beer, it's alright; as a scotch ale, it's disappointing.
