May 29, 2009 Thanks to rustychiles for sharing this for his #800. Congrats man. Pours a super-murky brown with no head. Aroma of bourbon, oak, oxidation, and heavy caramel malt sweetness. Taste is extremely balanced between the malt sweetness, the tannic qualities of the barrel, the bite of the bourbon, and the age. Definitely the right time to open this.

May 6, 2009 Don’t bother putting age on this one. I Ihad one fresh and one two years old. The fresh Numbskull blew it away by far. Also had this one with Jarspag. 3 BA Alesmiths in one night. LOL

May 6, 2009 Thanks zuluflyboy for the share of this 2006 bottle. Pours dark brown-red with an off-white head. Nose is boozy with vanilla, raisin, caramel, sugar, malt, depth, lots of wood, and bourbon. Flavor is vanilla, caramel/ toffee, raisin, whiskey, booze, bourbon, and very ripe fruit. Tastes stronger than the abv thanks to the aging. Excellent beer.
