Growler.
[ Courtesy of yespr ]. Clear dark brown color with a small, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is heavy malty, roasted, caramel, chocolate, berry, smoke - wood, raspberry notes, moderate alcohol - bourbon. Flavor is heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is creamy and very oily, carbonation is soft to flat, finish feel is moderate alcoholic. [20091024]

Bottle at post Borefts BF 09 tasting. Big boozy whisky/bourbon aroma. Hot spirit like oilyness in mouth. Bit hot but quite nice supping beer. Hot as hell.

I enjoyed the Wild Brunette enough to sway my decision on dropping the $9 for 5.5oz pour here... Pours a cloudy brownish amber with a finger of creamy beige head. Lots of sherry in the nose, some fruity and sweet notes to. Faint bourbon, compared to the sherry, hints of apple and vinous. The taste is heavily influenced by the barrel aging, it’s hard to believe that this is a third cycle through these barrels... Vinous, more sherry, bourbon, and caramel. Lots of barrel notes. Good, but the overwhelming sherry/bourbon presence puts a glass ceiling in place.

Handbottled, 14%. Quite alcoholic aroma, a bit of mild paint thinner. Clear dark brown colour, red shine. No head. The flavour is quite sweet, has a lot of alcohol. Vinous, some paint thinner, vanilla. Has some good elements, but why so much alcohol?

Growler. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a hazy dark brown with an orange hue and a tiny off-white head. Boozy aroma, but also some caramel and wood. Not much body really, lots of wood and alcohol - almost Cognac-like - but also some chocolate accents.Hot, hot, HOT! 071009
