Dangerous! This is an 11.1 that's gonna go down quickly, not a sipper as I expected!

Sort of a cranberry barleywine with citrusy finish. Pretty decent.

Clearing out the final Yule beer and puttering in the ol' man cave. Similar to holidotz, but I think I like this one better. Subtle tart citrus and cranberry, but enough malt sweetness to make it drinkable for me

Smells like cranberry but has notes of cranberry and cherry followed by a nice bourbon finish. This is excellent.

The orange flavors are strong with cranberrry mixed it. There are cherry and caramel elements in support. There is a bit of a sherry like note with bourbon and bread.

I like this a lot more than I thought I would. I expected a lot of bitterness from the orange peel and cranberry, but its pleasantly sweet without being too sweet.

Overall this was a pretty good beer as the concept is good but the execution not as good as this could use a bit more bourbon barrel and a scooch less pucker. Rated 3.87 on BA. @Sipping S. you might like this.

A very decent rendition, indeed. Although, it's a bit on the winey side, it would be well appreciated by any fan of the sours.

Good fruitiness from the cherry and cranberry. Nice balance of mild tartness with mild sweetness. Orange peel might be there in the aftertaste.

Smells of cranberry, citrus. Taste is sweet, tart (tartness stronger than the sweetness). Good. An odd one but good. High ABV (11%).

Cranberry twist inspired by an old fashion indeed. Intense fruit-forward, cran/cherry aroma followed w/ orange peel & subtle notes of vanilla. Taste follows. Was expecting more of a boozy bite but I’m not complaining. Pairing well with teriyaki meatballs
