Backwoods on tap. 12 oz pour; tumbler. Deep red color, becoming dirty brown. Very dark.

Smells of vanilla, toasted coconut, oak, caramel syrup, and alcohol. So interesting. I think, because I've had this many times before, that I know what to expect. But, I'm a first timer for a keg pour.

Caramel, bourbon-forward, more coconut, big vanilla, angel food cake, and a lot of liquor. Big time. Complex and brute. Fruity finish. Notes of dates, maple, and hardwood.

Not overly thick, sticky, or particularly harsh. Warming bite, with some suds. Heavier, of course. For the whiskey lover.

Hands down, best Wee Heavy I've had. I said, put your hands down!

Serving type: on-tap
