4oz pour at Churchkey looks like rootbeer with zero head. Nice nose, apples, wood, caramel, cola. Flavor is sweet, butterscotch, cola, apple, light malt, brown sugar, caramel. Full bodied, lightly hot finish. I didn’t love the base beer but I liked this treatment.

Cheers Dave! Hazy red-amber beer. Moderate head and carbonation. Toffee nose, smooth silky palate. Rich bitterish toffee, caramel and repressed sugar. Rich brandy alcohol blending well with the bitter toffee. If there is any apple here it is subtle and well buried amongst the brandy flavours. Finishes a little salty and with licorice. Delicious!

Draft. Very dark maroon, almost flat. Aroma of Calvados! With subtle coffee and chocolate. Taste is tawny port, subtle lemon, caramel. Very nice.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled a draft at Churchkey for the Bluejacket/Funky Buddha/Cigar City event during SAVOR week. Lots of malts, barley grain notes. Sweet malts. Interesting. Booze is pretty present there.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Churckey for the Funky Buddha and CCB event. Super dark brown with reddish hints. Big caramel and toffee lead to vinous dark fruits and hints of brown sugar and molasses. Thick body with low carbonation.

Tap at CK. Flat clear maroon. Heavy bourbon nose with mega rum raisin. No calvados. Taste is mega sweet with rum raisin. Sticky and rich ASA caliber rich toasted coconut. Well done. I'd guess this was bourbon BA since there is no acetaldehyde character from the calvados.

Pours unclear thick amber brown almost like grapejuice it is so dark. The aroma brings sweet resiny malts and a bit of dark fruit with the apple brandy booze as the backbone. It is big, thick, sweet, and boozy!
