Tasted this at Cascade Brewing in Portland where it was featured as a live barrel. Smelled uncannily like port (currants, raisins). Several layers of flavor: sour cherries, porter, bourbon notes. Overall, outstanding.

Pours out looking like some ruddy thick, imperial brown ale, almost no head on it. Aroma was so much nicer and complex, leather, cherry, bourbon, chocolate, oak, lactic sourness.
Taste was even more complex than the base, the cherry is dark and enjoyable, not overly sweet, this one brings out the chocolate a little. The leather and tobacco leaf edge are nice. Maybe even a small little amount of brown sugar and cinnamon in the smallest way.
Those bottles of the base are pretty expensive, but I think I might be willing to drop $30 if they ever bottle this one.

Poured on draft at the Cascade Barrel House
Poured into snifter - a dark garnet with massive khaki head with thick lacing. Tart cherries and lactic in the nose, along with dark fruit, bourbon and oak. The tartness dominates up front, but fades into oak and cherries with hints of tobacco and oak. This is a fantastic beer and I look forward to having it again.
