On tap at Hair of the Dog Brewery and Tasting Room, served in a stemmed 3 oz glass. Cloudy orange amber with a short, frothy crown of near white head. Big and boozy with plenty of oak barrel notes. Toffee, turbinado sugar, vanilla, sweet citrus fruit, and spicy new oak. Leather and tobacco tannins linger in the finish. Medium to full body and moderate carbontion along with some alcoholic heat. A potent brew with tasty, bold barrel notes.

This is one heavy beer. Tonnes of brandy, oak, caramel, leather. Nose also has spices. Thick and heavy, almost syrupy. It's pretty great, but about as undrinkable as it gets- boozy and heavy, a bit of an ordeal. Great for a small amount- but I can't drink it for too long!
