Dark. Cherry cough syrup. Bedazzled wax dipped bottle. Way too low alcohol for the way it tastes. Low body. I think this bottle. Thanks a lot Tony B. :-)

It poured a deep brown almost black color with a small tan head. The aroma was of roasted malts, dark fruit and a lot of bourbon. The taste was of roasted malts, dark fruits, a hint of cocoa and lots of bourbon. Mighty tasty.

(bottle - STLCOB end of year tasting) red wax and glitter on the bottle. Dark brown with tan head. Aroma of roast malt, bourbon, some hints of dark fruit. Modest body. Roast malt, some cocoa and dark fruits, bourbon.

Pours quite dark brown with a good sized tan head. The aroma has quite a bit of bourbon, apple, cocoa, vanilla and nougat. Medium / thin body that is a bit on the snappy side with a nice gentle amount of semi-soft carbonation. The taste starts off with a more balanced amount of the roasted malt, cocoa notes and bourbon. There is a a bit of spice and green apple. The finish has a little bit of spicy / earthy hops showing through and a real smoothness to all of the flavors from the beer. Really well done. The aroma makes it seem the bourbon will overpower, but the taste has a great blend of flavors.
