Tap @ CCB. Poured a deep hazy brown with a thin beige head. The nose is malty with strong notes of apple and brandy and lesser notes of brown sugar, caramel, and spice. Medium to full body with a smooth mouth feel. The flavor is apples, brown sugar, vanilla and some spice. Finishes with a good amount of warming alcohol. Good.

Tap at Rattle n Hum: Amber headless pour. Huge burning aroma- stings the nostrils with thick sugary brandy and ethanol. Slick hot body with flavors of thick caramel, candied malts and those hard Christmas candies that old women keep around the house. Way to much residual maltose and ethanol.

Does it really matter what I write about this? I mean I have been proclaimed a homer and not really a fair CCB rater. Well this shit is good as fuck. Tons better than the original. One of the better BA beers CCB has ever made. Delicious. The calvados barrel really does wonders. Thanks to snojerk for this one.
