Approached this one fearing we had waited too long. Cork broke on opening and had to be extracted with a two prong. Poured straight from the bottle. Beautiful color - zero brick edge. Long legs with 14.7 ABV. Typical cherry and blackberry flavors. A hint of pencil lead. Softened a bit with age, but plenty of body without any bite. Delicious from start to finish. If well stored, this one is still outstanding.

Consistent with KB style, cherry cola central. A little more smoky cedar here and elegant fruit. Loved it.

I concur with my previous note in Dec'14. What struck me was the richness of the flavors but great weight.
Enjoyed at Bourbon Pub and Levi's Stadium.

Similar tasting note to previous bottle with a touch more heat on the finish.

Ripe dark cherry aromas and flavors with spice notes on the rich moderate finish.
