12 oz. - The Wine Source. Dark brown, tan creamy head. Soft buttery cherry tobacco aromas warm to lighter swirls of toffee malt and molasses. Dried plum and cherry flavors round with hints of a sweet caramel butter. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dried dark fruit finish. Decent, but could use some more peat smoke-like notes...
