Appearance: Pours a dark rust color with a thin white film for head.

Aroma: Wood, sour cherry, vanilla and a hint of booze and spicy hopping.

Taste: Wood, sweet cherry, vanilla, bitter hops. The wood and hops leave a lingering enjoyable level of bitterness on the tongue well after the sip.

Mouthfeel: A bit tanic and astringent with moderate carbonation.

Overall: Awesome big bold flavors, great level of bitterness. Very surprised at how good this is in proportion to it’s lack of hype. I shouldn’t be though.
