12 oz bottle from Sam’s Blue Light, Durham, NC, USA. Typical dark amber, clear body with a large initial head that fades quickly. No lace.

Typical for the style, at least a solid American example.

The toasty, liquor based notes; the prominent alcohol; the creamy, sherry like flavor; and the warming, Old Ale feel are all there.

Nice, oily, slightly slick mouthfeel. Finishes with an appropriate dry, bitterness. Tasty.
