The dark red, nearly copper body is faintly foggy under a tan, moderately tall foam head.
The barreling allows more caramels to express while adding a little splintered char and a prick of whiskey, but the potently fiery pine resin pervades.
What I really walk away with is how the very impressively bourbon-like exhale is such that I would typically only experience from the real McCoy.

A year later, there's a bit of a caramelly pineapple vibe going on to sweeten and soften the aggressiveness.
