Aroma:
Strong scent of sweet cherries with slight plum undertones. Very faint hint of caramel emerges as it warms up.
Appearance:
Deep reddish brown hue.
Taste:
A thick mouthfeel delivers the malt sweetness in a nice slow fashion. Sweet chocolate and caramels notes give way to a cool bourbon aftertaste. Everything is followed by the nice burn from the high alcohol content a slight lingering coco bitterness.
Overall:
A very complex and enjoyable beer. The aging in bourbon barrels has added a nice flavor, blending perfectly with the thick malt flavors in the base. Definitely a good beer for sitting out a blizzard with a warm fire.
