Not so good. Aroma is promising, but everything else is disappointing. Tastes like a glass of whiskey that has sat in ice for hours.

Pint at the brewery taproom. This is the regular 1901 Red Ale brewed to 9% and aged several months in a Jack Daniels whiskey barrel. I like this version better than the original. The whiskey barrel gives a bourbon sweetness and smooths out the roasty flavors of the red ale. Complex and very good.
