Deep burgundy red color, beige head that lasts. Bourbon, orange, cherry nose. Old-fashioned like. Bourbon taste hits first, followed by some tart cranberry flavor. Sweet orange peel & maraschino cherry in the back. Finishes sweet. Hint of booziness.

Delicious fruit beer with a bourbon edge and a medium, hearty body.

Bourbon, cranberry, cherry, and orange peel. It’s a cranberry old fashioned.

Too much cherry. This is the type of thing that happens when you add too much extra stuff because there is something wrong and you are trying to hide the flavor. Just my opinion. It also tastes like Founders’ racist corporate culture.

You can taste the bourbon aged and the beer is fantastic. Great holiday ale.

Give me cranberries but make it beer. This light refresher is packed with cranberry jam flavor. Wrap me in a pastry crust and call me a pie. This sweet beer is packed with jammy goodness. Would definitely order again.

I should have stirred the bottle, some sediment left behind. A bit sweet. Good with turkey dinner.

I’m not a fan of this one either. I like fruity flavors but the barrel aged and fruit combo is not my favorite.

I guess I am just not a heavy Christmas beer guy because this tastes like high end cough syrup.

Very nice. Clean fruity flavor on the tongue. Clean finish of the tart cranberry. Has to be one of my new favorites.

Starts off oddly tart with cranberry-lime malt. But this rounds out to something very special as the whisky warms into the fruit nougat with a touch of malty cotton candy. Throw in some orange and light cinnamon and I’m a fan. That was for Nathaniel B.

Am I crazy to think I'd like more barrel in this? Tasty flavor otherwise.

It's pretty good for the category. Tart as expected from the cranberries. Getting some definite wine-grape notes and sutle whiskey on the tale end.
