Nov 22, 2006 On tap at the brewery. Pours dark brown with a off-white head. Very sweet with a cherry/caramel flavor and a bit of oak flavor. Taste was very good for such a strong brew, didn’t show much alcohol flavor and had the hops to balance it out.

Oct 3, 2005 GABF 2005. Thought this was a flemish sour, not an IS and will rate as such. Clear dark tan color. Light sour cherry aroma. Smooth, slightly sour and fruity taste. Balanced bourbon with only a slight alcohol burn. Hints of bittering hops. Long bourbony finish. Well hidden alcohol for 11.5%.

Oct 3, 2005 Dark marron w/ a well alced tan head. Smells of bourbon sweet carmel malt and a touch of cherry.. very big on the bourbon. Smooth carbonated and well coated palate. Bright taste slightly tart cherries then some sweet brown sugarn and bourbon. The alcohol is a little over the top but this is still pretty good.
