Bottle shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! Hazy, rose colored, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong blueberry, raspberry, tart fruit. Taste is initial tart fruit blast followed by oaky, light barnyard quality, finishing with more sweet blueberry and raspberry. Thin texture, light body, soft carbonation and sweet/tart finish. Great strength and the taste has a cool journey through tart, barnyard and then sweet. Incredibly well made.

Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks Clark. Inky, inky black, viscous up the wazoo! Aroma is cocoa, vanilla, background bourbon. Taste is strong fudge brownie, vanilla, earthy malt, mild bourbon. Thick, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Super thick dessert beer. Needs more bourbon presence to offset the sweetness.
