2016 vintage; drank 1/29/16 @ Founders.
Brown/pink appearance.
Minimal white/pink head; decent lace.
Cranberry, brown sugar & oak notes in the nose.
Medium thick mouthfeel.
Sweet cranberry & milk chocolate flavors up front; faint bourbon heat notes on the finish. Unique, balanced & enjoyable.

Had this at Founders Taproom during Cellar Raid 2016.
L: dark brown, half finger of head
S: mostly tart cranberry, faint bourbon scent as well
T: bourbon & cranberries, a little more bitter than I was expecting but still good
F: medium bodied, not very smooth
This was definitely an interesting beer. I liked it, but it was a little strange... never had anything quite like it. I'd recommend trying it if you get a chance.
