Pour is a darker amber with light edges and virtually no head. Nose is light acetone with some fuddled malt notes, more acetone and notes of acetic acid and cherry. Taste also has a bit of acetone, some darker malt backbone with some light sour cherry in back. Acetic acid is present but light, very assertive carbonation and a puckeringly dry finish that adds a mess of heat and boozy vodka.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a slight tint of gold around the edges. There is a tight quarter finger white head. The aroma is of oak, vanilla, and some tannins along with a slight hint of tart fruits. The taste is very good. The beer starts with a sweet cherry and brandy like flavor. The flavor is rounded out by a big oak presence. The middle part reveals a green tart fruit flavor. Green apples and tart grapes come to mind. The back end comes back with a little more sweetness. The mouthfeel is well carbonated and slightly stingy. Overall it is a very solid beer. There are big flavors and aroma and you are left wanting more.
