500 ml bottle purchased at the brewery on release day. Aroma of deep roasted grain, oats, and subtle rye whiskey. Flavor has oats and a charred malt backbone with a soft lingering rye whiskey that lingers after the sip. The charred malt is pretty distracting. Was hoping for a lot more on this one.

Bottle pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an inky black with nice viscosity. Aroma is strong sweet roasted malt, chocolate, background bourbon. Taste is strong sweet roasted malt, rye whiskey. Mouthfeel is full bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation, some alcohol harshness. Overall, the bourbon does not cut the sweet malt sufficiently. Too sweet.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head recedes leaving trailing sheets to skim surface. Lemon and tea aromas. Tart with lemon and mild tea front to back. Dry, lasting pith and peel finish. Sweeter than I'd like...

500 ML bottle. Deep Crimson color. Aroma is cherry pie filling and a little bit of bread. The malt in the flavor is minimal, but does give a weak bread hint. Flavor is as expected. Super tart cherry with slight malt character.
