Look: It pours brown with a bit of clouding and a tan head. It has low head retention.
Smell: There is a strong port wine like aroma with toffee. There are noticeable wood elements with slight earth.
Taste: The flavor is malt driven with toffee and dark caramel. There are some port element in the background with low nuts. There are also some very low dark fruits. There are hints of wood.
Feel: It has a chewy body with powerful alcohol warming. The warming if pleasant, not hot.
Overall, quite a bit of complex flavors that work well together.

Purchased as a single 12oz bottle from The Blue Door for $15.00. Aged for two additional months. Bottle #0962/4600. Poured into a snifter.
L - Super dark brown. Hazy, with bits of yeast floating on the bottom. An extremely thin sienna head.
S - Stone fruit, Perique pipe tobacco, and black pepper. Ethanol. Raisin.
T - Follows nose. Additional notes of toffee, violet, and a hint of oak. Well-balanced throughout. Finishes dry, but with an ethanol-heavy note.
F - Full-bodied, with little carbonation. A serious sipper, this one.
O - Worth the wait. Really nice. Should not have had this at 9AM. Definitely recommend.
