Nice Old Ale with lots of orange, cherry and cranberries. Well balanced with that much fruit.

Beermas #3. I typically don’t reach for bourbon barrel or old fashioneds, but the cranberry / cherry / orange flavors make this very enjoyable to drink

Advent Calendar - Day 3 Orange, Cherry, Cranberry, and bourbon? This is like freaking wassail!! They could have enhanced it with some spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice), but it's solid without. Maybe some apple cider... Really fun festive brew.

One of my all time favorite breweries and was even more excited because I never had this before. Love the bourbon and fruit beer but would love a little more spice. It’s like a fruitcake in a bottle and the ABV is an extra treat.

Beermas23 #3. My first pick drinking a day late due to airline delays yesterday. I actually liked this more now than when i sampled it at the store. Drinks like a wine in some respects. Fruity and tart, boozy but not overly so. 11% definitely needed 2day

Deceptively boozy. Kriek style fruit in a very well balanced barley wine esque base beer.

Solid BBA Fruit Beer! Notes of tart cranberry, sweet cherry, orange bitters and a nice warming bourbon presence. Thanks Greg S.

This is interesting. Does NOT taste like 11%. Almost refreshing. Aroma has a funk to it but it really doesn't come through on the palate, just a really balanced tartness. Should have got the 4 pack!

The cranberry comes through cleanly and reminds me of a sour. Tasty.

This hard to describe or to categorize. Winter warmer? Fruited ale? Strong Ale? Barleywine? Something else? Regardless, a tasty, easy drinking (for 11%’er) and enjoyable brew 🍻🎄

Your basic cranberry RIS, if that’s a thing. Is there cherry and orange peel here? I wouldn’t be able to say.

I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't this. Big wood ale with cranberry hanging out. Reminds me of a cherry swisher sweet, but cran

Packs a punch, but the cranberry and orange peel smooths the pallet. Really is a fantastic tasting brew. Happy Holidays!

Hazy mahogany with sturdy pink head & outstanding lacing. Cranberry-n-orange peel nose & taste; add cherry flavor. There’s bourbon-barrel, as well. The finish is dry. It tastes like an Old-Fashioned cocktail. Too bad the cherry is like cough syrup.

Interesting notes of an old fashioned drink with the cheer and booziness. The taste is so much more than an old fashioned. All sorts of stuff going on with the beer; some would say it’s comPLEX with a raised eyebrow. Haughty like a rich person. Delicious

Cranberry and a hint of orange on the nose. Smoothish mouthfeel, medium bodied. Nice blend of tart cranberry, bright citrus and subtle spices throughout the palate. Sweet finish. I like it.

Brut tartness at the back of the throat then smoothes out with a balanced sweetness. Boozy nose late to the party, doesn’t taste the ABV at all. Mild raspberry finish. Very unique

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