Poured from 22 oz. bottle into Arcadia tulip/snifter. Purchased from the Arcadia brew pub in mid November 2012.
A: Pours a transparent brown color, with a bit of burgundy. Initial head was very thin, barely covered the beer, white and dissipated slowly. There was no lacing to follow that. Since there is no "Sound" portion of this, I'm going to include it in the appearance section. It fizzes very aggressively as the head subsides. It's very loud, and is quite violent, like a can of soda.
N: The nose is really nice. Some good cherry and bourbon notes, sweet caramel, and oak.
T: Really oak up front with creamy vanilla cherry and caramel. The bourbon is present, but the tart cherry really cuts that. The beer seems to fall off quickly leaving you with the presence of nothing but oak, slight cherry.
M: Prickly. Cactus like carbonation. It really effects the taste for me, because some of the notes feel to be muted from the lively mouthfeel. It would benefit from some creaminess.
D and O: Interesting. We had some good times, we had some bad times. Kind of wish I would have bought two to see if there is some bottle variation.

A- Pours a light amber with a 1 finger off-white head. Minimal lacing.
S- Tart cherries, some sour and bourbon.
T- Tart cherries, sour mash, bourbon, and chocolate.
M- Medium body and carbonation. Slight dry feel.
O- Ok beer not great for trying to be a sour. Bourbon does add nice characteristics and complexity.

Bottle purchased by Jason during a dinner stop-in at Arcadia. Served in a tulip during Christmas dinner.
A - Looks similar to the XV, but is darker and a bit hazier.
S - Wood, vanilla, and harsh alcohol.
T - A mixture of sugary malts, harsh oak, solvent alcohol, and tart apple skins. Finishes surprisingly clean?
M - Zesty carbonation, dry texture, medium body, and serious alcohol warmth.
D - This beer was terrible and I couldn't rush to the kitchen quickly enough to pour out my glass. Buy the XV instead, as it's a zillion times better.
