Tap at Muted Horn. Hazy dark red body, pinkish head. Vanilla-cinnamon combo backed by light berries in the aroma. Creamy taste, berry sweetness and tartness, with hefty vanilla and lighter cinnamon, lingering clean tartness remains with the spice. Good stuff, not sure I liked some combos happening in the taste, so just 3.8, but this is undeniably tasty and fun!

Bottle, sitting patiently since 2014 for this moment. Pours clear pinkish orange, small fizzy white head that goes quickly leaving no trace. Aroma is a bit acetone, bugs, oak tannin. Flavor is better, light berry, lemon, hint of npr, butter. Light body, low carb. Ungreat

750ml bottle pours out amber red color topped with a fizzy head. Nose is tart cherries some sour notes and wood barrel. Taste is more of the nice cherries in the front barrel wood notes plenty tart sour kick.
