Bottle courtesy of superdave70 shared at hellbilly*s holiday tasting. Spicey bourbon aroma. Hazy gold body with white head. Spicey, clove and sweet bourbon flavor. Mabe little to much on the spice side for me. Thanks Dave.

Aromas of bourbon, tartness from the oak, somewhat spicy tripel-ish aroma. Light sweetness, hay. Golden orange pour, nice bubbles, and a nice head too. The flavor is pretty full of bourbon and booze up front, some oak notes subdue the underlying base of yeast, spice, and fruit. Some candy sweetness, and perhaps a little bread. Lots of noticable booze from the 11%. Carbonation is soft, the body is smooth, and oak dryness lingers.

750ml bottle. Pours an opaque honey-orange. Lots of foamy head. You can definitely taste the barrel aging here, not just in the bourbon but also in the tannins present in this one. Pretty sweet, but this sweetness is balanced by the tannins and bitter notes from the casking. Wow - after 1 hour after drinking this I am completely toasted. Wow. Just wow.

750ml bottle. Pours golden orange with a nice foamy white head. Aroma of fruit and sweet malts. The sweetness continues on the tongue, along with bread, vanilla, wood, and a nice bourbon alcohol burn at the finish. Very good beer despite the high price. Thanks Dad!

Sampled at the hellbilly holiday tasting. Golden brownish color pour with a nice foamy head that lasts a while. Aroma of sweet malt, bourbon, fruit and yeast. Lots of bourbon in the flavor, along with fruit, vanilla, yeast, and a bit of spice and alcohol. Smooth and slightly thick on the palate. Pretty good brew!

Bottle courtesy of superdave70 shared at hellbilly*s holiday tasting. Pours a hazy peach color with a white head. Nose is alcohol, light sour yeast and malty bourbon. Taste is sweet dark fruits, biscuits, vanilla and alcohol. Medium prickly mouth. Decent stuff. Thanks Dave!

Expensive as hell ($18 for 750ml) but good. Golden color with moderate-to-high carbonation. Lemony and creamy with vanilla and some serious bourbon on the finish. Booooouuuurbon! (obscure reference to "My New Haircut: Senior Citizen Edition")

Pours a hazy honey-brown with an aroma of spice, wood, honey, sugar, and I swear I got some dill weed. Flavor is slight fizziness with dill, wood, maple, complexity, and youth. Finish is average. This beer is still in diapers. I would love to re-rate it with some age.
