Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toffee), heavy hop (flowers, perfume), heavy yeast (dough, earth) with notes of port, wood, maple syrup and vanilla. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and an astringent finish. Long duration, heavy sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Sep 28, 2009 Taproom at the 2009 GABF. Clear and brilliant amber color with thin white head. Fresh sweet nose, no hops as the malts dominate. Medium carbonation and malty sweetness in the mouthfeel. Nose has the bourbon mix of oak, vanilla, toffee, and buttery notes. I also got farmhouse notes in the nose and the taste.

Sep 26, 2009 Draft sample at the brewery - viscous, hazy orange pour - zero head - intensely sweet honey and candi sugar up front, along with strong vanilla, oak, boozy character - this is followed by strong spicy qualities, as well as some apple, pear - the whiskey comes through a lot in the finish - seriously sticky, boozy, and sweet - tastes like a little too much samael’s went into this - still not a terrible big beer experiment from this brewery.
