32 oz. growler. Pours a bit of a murky amber color with almost no head. Smell has lots of wine. Red wine, oak, vanilla. I don’t get much of the bourbon outright, but the vanilla could be from the bourbon half of the treatment. Light citrus, but the wine is heavy-handed. The flavor is more citrus-forward, but lots of oak and some sugars weigh it down. The wine flavors emerge as a bit of acidity, but wine sweetness lingers in the finish. Medium heavy. Low carbonation. It’s a complicated beer, for sure. I think it needs a bit more acidity to brighten it up.
