Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a thin khaki head that dissipates to patches leaving light lacing. Aroma of dark malt, fresh and dried dark fruit, bourbon. Flavor is dark caramel malt with slight biscuit, fresh and dried dark fruit, mild toffee, bourbon, rye bread, light oaky vanilla; a bit woody in the finish. Medium bodied with good carbonation. A very nice barreled ale with an American strong ale profile; there is a nice light rye flavor and slight sourness, but melded well with the malt and bourbon. Barrel flavors are well integrated. Flavor is surprisingly robust and makes this taste like it could be a much higher ABV ale. Well done and a good value. A second stellar beer brewed for Bartell's (after the also excellent Fremont Spring Elixir); someone involved with the company really knows their beer. Kudos.
