Prune, cherry, banana, clove, caramel malt, bourbon, and hay aroma. Cloudy brown with minimal head. Very sweet raisin, banana, cherry, toffee malt, bourbon, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Excellent body and balance - bourbon gets stronger as it warms. Worth the wait.

EB. Clean, nicely fruity and drinkable if a hint light. Probably great with a proper food pairing and not late in a tasting.
