Smoothed out a bit with age. Almost gritty on first sip after the sours, but it got better. Thick and sweet, with a long, mild vanilla following the initial alcohol hit all the way to the finish. Sticks around a little in the throat afterwards.

Sweet, cherry-caramel-bourbon boozy flavors with a medium thin body. Well-balanced and finishes clean, but a bit one note to stand out in a crowded field of barreled strong ales.
