5.70/10
A:5.00 T:6.00 L:10.00 M:5.00 O:5.00
Color:Ruby
At least a three year old bottle.
Pours clear with a third a glass (tulip) of tan, large bubbled foam. Retention is up there with the best of them, creating a milky frothiness. Lacing, at times, was thick and coating.
Aroma is nothing fantastic. Can't find any bourbon remnants: vanilla, oak, bourbon, etc. Dark fruit: fig and/or raisin, not much else. Beginnings of "age" possibly.
Taste follows the nose: not much at all. Toffee and dark fruits: fig and currants. Sweet.
Medium body with medium carbonation. The sweets try to keep the palate wet but it still dries, possibly the barrel aging.
The taste is a bit better than the aroma but the aroma wasn't much. The taste has an estery sweetness that makes it hard to drink. Nothing here that would pull you back again. Enjoy!
