Sep 7, 2009 Thank you Steve (KrausenJockey) for the bottle. Clear copper with a small off-white head. Flavor has bourbon, lotsa caramel and sweet toffee notes, raisins, faint cherries and spice--cinnamon? Aroma was much the same, though it was a little fruitier and had less barrel character. Semi-dry with some alcohol showing up, bitterness at a 2-3. Low carbonation with a full body. No surprise--another winner from Steve @ Valley!
