This beer arrives a clear bright red color. The head is a quarter inch in height, and recedes quickly into minimal lacing. The aroma is of tons of caramel with a bunch of dark fruit and a nice touch of whiskey. The taste has a more pronounced whiskey presence, but it is still well balanced with the base beer (which I like). The caramel and the cherry really compliment the whiskey well. The mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with soft carbonation, and a silky texture. Overall, this is a really good beer that I will seek out again.

Serving type: on-tap

At the taproom.

Little head. Color is a clear dark caramel ruby red. Nice color.

Flavor profile reminds me of a lot of whiskey. The Irish whiskey dominates this beer in a good way. Very sweet and malty in a good way. Some toffee maybe. Bready. There is a little citrus blended in. Finishes with a nice amount of vanilla.

Very warming but smooth. Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Ends kind of dry.

Overall, a surprisingly good beer. Very enjoyable if you like Irish whiskey.
