Well,I must say,after half of one glass of this stuff,I'm already a bit tipsy! 5.9% is nothing to sneeze at! It's dark,& just a little clear,although I may've gotten some yeast in it from the bottom of the bottle.
After being in the fridge since Monday,It has a dark bourbon nose to it. Smooth spicy oak flavor on the lighter bourbon flavor now. I think the Kent Golding & Haulertauer added some spice to the oak flavor. More like Black Oak instead of medium toast French oak. Interesting difference. Not at all offensive,however.
If Germans made this stuff,this is what it might taste like,imo.
I guess it's my German heritage coming through?...
