Jun 27, 2007 Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with no head. No lacing, as there is almost no carbonation. Aroma is a sweet blend of caramel, malt, and fruit. Flavor....wow! This is a strong ale indeed. Caramel start and a nice malty and alcohol finish. Thanks Cottrell for this puppy! This is freaking awesome!

aroma is getting alcoholic,
the earthyness appears to be growing and detracts from the malt rather than balancing it, once warm the malt kicks back in with a vanilla sweetness and the bourbon becomes apparent,
