Thanks Gillard! Pours a clear brown with little head. Sweet, woody aroma. Flavor is tart and slightly sour with a distinct cherry tone. Sweet, hardly woody at all, and very little hoppiness. Tasty!

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle courtesy of grimreeser. Aroma of oak, chocolate, and cherry. Medium bodied but with more of a porter like texture. Flavor of roasted malt, vanilla, and tart cherries. Just a very slight hint of bourbon, joined by more cherries on the finish.

Aug 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle via trade KingpinIPA - Pours a dark brown color with a 1/2 finger thick light tan head that faded pretty quick. Light lacing. The barrel aging dominates the aroma. Mostly oak/bourbon and some dark esters. Can’t really detect any cherry in the aroma. Flavor is also mostly oak/bourbon with some roasted malt and dark esters. Has a roasted malt and alcohol aftertaste. Medium body. A good IS, but I doubt very few could detect any cherry in this beer if they didn’t know what they were drinking. Thanks Mike.

Aug 12, 2008 "Very nice, how much?" Well, actually since you asked, it was $5 for this little 12 ozer but well worth every penny. Colour is a dark brown, with a red hue, it almost takes on a purpleish colour- not trying to scare you away, beautiful body. Thin tan head, light brownish colour with an aroma which is of chocolate covered cherries soaked in bourbon. Oak, dark dark chocolate and earth. Mouthfeel is creamy, incredibly satisfying and coffee-like. Wicked tastey, delightful on my palate. Flavors again are of over ripe cherries, maybe black cherry, chocolate, burnt coffee and slight carmel. Cherries are evident, but not overpowering, yet so real.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with a thin beige head. Some off white floaties in there. Aroma of tobacco, smoke, some cherry, bourbon and oak. Wow, taste is a total 180 from the aroma. Roasted malt, bourbon and smoke up front, good sour/tart bite from the cherries in the middle, bourbon finish with some lingering cherry. Interesting to say the least.
