Bottled in January 2007. This brew pours a hazed apricot color with a solid head finally resting with a full silky canopy and a fluffy ring. Strong aromas of sourdough, stonefruit nectar, green apples, and vanilla. Full nectar weight with ample residual effers although very soft for that proprietary Allegash creamy texture. A solid malt body balanced perfectly by a persistant peachpit bittering component and spicey bourbon. I totally pickup on the cinnamon nuances of the Bourbon influence. This brew is as complex as it gets and only mildly sweet. Creamy bitter apple, stonefruit nectar, banana, kiwi, citrus, caramel, vanilla, clove, potato, asparagus, and vodka. The finish is strong and lingering with a fruity, boozey warmth. Overall: This is a very generous brew. Strong fruit and defined booze create a rich and warming sensation. Not for the faint of heart. I dig this brew. Highly recommended.

Cloudy yellowish color. Smell is very taty. Great pleasant smell. Taste is amazing! Lots of flavor. Like a party in my mouth...a party of flavor! For an 11 percent beer its very smooth and doesn’t have that big of an alcohol bite.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy straw tinted yellow with a dense white head. Yeasty malt and spice tones in the nose with a curious oaky background and faint alcohol notes. Semi-sweet body. Fruity breadish notes up-front countered by an ever so slight tartness and warm bourbon tones. Finishes slightly sweet with a lingering warmth.

Pours a nice golden color with a complete frothy head. The nose on this beer is quite nice. The bourbon barrel aging is very good. Just the subtlest of hints of oak and bourbon. It really compliments the beer instead of taking over. This is a real treat, something I could drink all day long. A very nice, well rounded, well put together beer. I’ve got absolutely no complaints.

Draft. Pours a near clear honey golden with dense foamy head. Aroma very close to typical triple style: honeycomb, hay, fruity light grapes. Bourbon shows up understated on the palate with a clean candy sweetness underpinned by light golden malts. Cloves, pepper, also present. Finishes with a zesty yeast tang and pleasant prickly hops. Delightful and way too drinkable concerning the ABV.

Slight unclear gold with a thin white head. Aroma is of yeast, bourbon barrels, spices & alcohol. Taste is warm & filling with notes from alcohol, oak/bourbon & spices. Sweet , sticky & warm. Alcohol is not well hidden in this one - a bit too dominating. Otherwise great!
