Great beer. Very expensive($18 per bottle). Beer is aged in Bourbon Barrels and you can certainly taste a slight hint of bourbon. Pretty much pours a light amber color and not a huge head. Fruity, well balanced. Slight hop finish is nice. Enjoyable.

Pours hazy straw with a sustained white head. Vanilla, charred wood, alcohol aroma and flavor. A bourbon/whiskey burn in the after taste. Warming and good.

Hazy gold pour, very bright. White head and spotty lace. WHisky aroma. Sticky palate. Big oak, bourbon, and leather. Very sweet but the bourbon seems to balance that out

Pours a hazy golden yellow with a towering white head. Oaky, whiskey aroma, but soft with a sweetness suggesting honey. Sweet malty palate with dominant vanilla oaky tones, honey, spices, and a leathery woodiness in the finish. Absolutely delicious!

On tap at Churchill’s Pub in San Marcos, CA. Thick golden with large white head. Aroma full of esters and alcohol. Taste with too hot, Sort of sticky on the tongue. But had a good malty sweetness with vanilla and a very, very slight bourbon aged flavor. I thought the age was done very well, very subtly. Overall, too hot made it not as enjoyable as I would’ve wished.

Golden body with minimal head, aroma of chardonnay and grapes with funky earth/wood hints. Didn’t catch any bourbon in the nose, but the oaks is definitely there. Flavor is all oak, honey and maltiness. Pretty smooth but still looking for the bourbon. This beer tasted a bit young, a little age would do it well.
