Too tart at ale temp…too boozy at room temp. Not a fan.

Taste like every other barrel aged fruit beer they have produced.

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

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.

Rich, heavy, and sweet. Cranberry and cherry notes are there in the rich bourbon barrel agree strong ale.

Advent calendar #13. Alcohol is very subtle, but cranberry is not.

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

Sharp cranberry flavor with a bitter aftertaste. Not unpleasant, but not sweet. Refreshingly different.

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.

‘Ale aged in bourbon barrels with cranberry, cherry, and orange peel.’ It doesn’t drink like 11%. Not sure what I wax expecting.

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

Alcoholic cranberry juice. Weird, but they nailed the concept.

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

Was not sure about this one, but picked it up anyway for s&g. Super tart fruit beer with a hint of bourbon... I think this'll pair nicely with the schnitzel I made!

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

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 🍻🎄

Advent Day 10! Very strong bourbon flavor. The tart of the cranberry makes it a bit medicinal.
