A 2-Finger head was produced that was crystal clear and dissipated almost instantly. There\u2019s some nice bubbles on the swirl but, at 8%, no alcohol legs to speak of.<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; There\u2019s not a lot of smell to this. Clear Bourbon scent but it\u2019s very weak. I\u2019m no getting much and am overall pretty disappointed with the scent. Smells like a BMC beer.<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Immediately, I\u2019m getting Wild Turkey or Makers Mark mixed with a glass of spring water. It\u2019s really pretty nasty. Dry and roasted malts on the back of the tongue.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; 80% carbonation on the mouth swish. Light-bodied and a mouth quenching whiskey linger.<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; This is flat out a drain pour. wow, what a disappointing beer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This beer was utterly terrible.
