Pours rusty dark brown with some ruby highlights, and a thin light tan head. smell is great bourbon and oak with light dark fruits . Taste very bourbon forward with raisin and plum mixing in ,toffee and toasted malt round this out. All components of above mentioned meld well together nothing dominates,lower carbonation with ABV warmth, this is a sipper.

On tap at the Great Taste of the Midwest 2014...
Walked up to the Barley Johns Booth, asked for a pour of Rosies...the guy rolled his eyes at me and asked if I had ever tried the base beer...Wild Burnette. I said I hadn't and he proceded to pour me a glass to try...I took one sip of Wild Burnette, and then took a sip of my buddies Rosies...Dumped my glass on the ground, handed it back to the guy and said Rosies please...its THAT good...Like sweet ice tea on a hot summer night, perectly balanced....I could drink it by the pitcher...The best Old Ale I have had too date...too bad its only made every three years! I am in love
