4.08/5  rDev +10.3%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Arrives with a hint of ruby highlights amidst the black liquid; the frothy tan head webs the glass with lacing

Smell: Roast, molasses and prune

Taste: Roast and molasses, up front, with the prune arriving in the middle; honeyed sweetness adds another dimension, after the swallow, though the finish has a lot of roast

Mouthfeel: Full bodied with moderate carbonation and some warmth in the gullet

Overall: Differing from some of the other RIS beers in the Trail Magic series, #7 is aged in Jack Daniels barrels and blended with some of the Trail Magic #1; blending the beer with a two year old beer adds some depth and old ale elements
