PilsnerPeter (1631), Flushing, New York, USA Mar 8, 2008 Tap at Barcade: Deep ruby copperish pour with a fading tan film. Nose is heavy on the oak. Not much else to say. The flavor is the same. Body is a bit boozy and heavy on the oak. It masks anything else, but it’s still kinda tasty and warming. Reminds me of a nice oakey bourbon.
thenick (611), North Bellmore, New York, USA Nov 20, 2008 Tap @ Blind Tiger. Pours a deep brown with an off-white head. Aroma is very sweet with vanilla and oak notes detectable again. Taste is the same, very sweet up front with vanilla and oak notes on the end. Very sweet throughout, but a very solid beer. I have to tell you, though, this is a sipper if there ever was one. Imaena (259), Portland, Maine, USA Aug 5, 2008 Draught @ GLB. Dark brown with tan/bone head. Sweet sweet sweet, Vanilla and molasses. Oak and whiskey. Really too sweet for me. A bit much for a full pint. goldtwins (3747), Nesconset, New York, USA Mar 8, 2008 Tap @ Barcade. Poured a hazy brown color with an off-white head. Vanilla in the aroma and flavor but the bourbon is light. Some brown sugar notes along with yeasty esters and browned apple flesh. Medium body. bu11zeye (3887), Frisco, Texas, USA Feb 18, 2008 (Draught) Pours a cloudy amber body with a small creamy beige head. Aroma of caramel, vanilla, raisin, dates, and oak. Flavor of sweet dark fruit, caramel, wood, some chocolate, and nuts with a dry finish.
