A muddy brown color, maybe a dark amber, with an off-white head. The cherries come through nicely on the nose. There is some bread and toffee sweetness and a faint oakiness. A definite vinegar note to it as well. The flavor has pronounced vinegar and cherry notes with a fair amount of wine and red grape. A hint of oak, maybe some vanilla, and a bit of toasted malt and toffee.

Bottle shared by Sean, thanks! Pours a clear deep ruby with an off-white head that dissipates nearly immediately to the edges. Aroma has a decent amount of earthy wood and horse blanket backed by some earthy red fruits/wine and deep grains. Flavor has really mild with some earthy grains and a bit of metallic note. Really didn’t work.

bottle... light brown with a reddish tint, not much of a head... the aroma is very bready, oak, a touch of cherries, tart, ok... tastes decent, not knocking my socks off, another generic sour but easy to drink and far superior to the bourbon, not a fan of the malt presentation and the cherries don’t come through
