    750 ml bottle. Pours dark amber with a big fizzy light tan head that retains well and leaves little lacing.

    The aroma is sweet bourbon and chocolate with some cherry, dark fruits and cinnamon.

    The flavor is sweet chocolate malts with some acidic and tart cherry and some chalky boozy bourbon in the finish. Some cinnamon comes out as it warms. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly sharp carbonation.

    Overall, an OK big beer. A bit too sweet and boozy with chalky acidic notes.

    I really dig the cocoa in this beer. I wanted a little more punch from the cherries and the bourbon barrels, but in the end this was a nicely balanced effort. Lightly sweet and even more lightly tart. Complex and refined.

    Bottle from Phishpond417. Dark amber/light brown pour, tight and short creamy tan head, some lacing. Rich and lightly sweet aromas and flavor with light cherries, vanilla and oak, hint of bourbon all of which are more pronounced as it warms. Superb beer from a great brewery. Thanks Travis - this one was shared with a couple of good beer friends who all enjoyed it.
