AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Jun 13, 2008 Pours ruddy brown with no head. The nose is subtle fruits and caramel. A hint of bourbon. The flavor is the same, with the bourbon being way too subtle. Decent, but not as good as hoped. travita (1851), Frisco, Texas, USA Jun 10, 2008 Amber colored with a light head. Alcohol in the smell also malts, sweet. Some body that is sticky. Caramel heavy in the taste and smell. Dark fruits and surgary. Capa (952), Yokosuka, Japan Jun 8, 2008 Thanks to BückDich for the bottle. Fresh, bright fruits, hops, malty, and very little, if any, of the bourbon in the aroma. >oads of fresh fruit in the flavor. Oranges, citrus, alcohol, sweet malts, with no real bourbon flavor, either. Smooth, full body. Lightly bitter. Very nice beer even though I can’t pick up much bourbon. Regardless, I’d drink it again. Swalden28 (1439), McKinney, Texas, USA Jun 6, 2008 Bottle, Thanks to Bu11zeye.
Pours a Deep hazy amber with beige head. Aroma of slight citris, some dark fruit and bourbon. Flavor of bourbon, wood, dark fruit, sweet malt, and has a nice little bitter. Has a medium-full body with medium carbonation. Very good. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Jun 4, 2008 (22oz. bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy amber body with a small beige head. Aroma of bourbon, caramel, raisins, and toffee. Flavor of caramel malt, bourbon, oak, and dark fruits with a dry finish. Seems kind of scattered (unbalanced). Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Jun 2, 2008 Pours an amber body with a moderate head. Aroma and flavor is of pale, caramel malt with a good presence of dark fruit fig, raisins and plum. Bourbon is light and tasteful, its the finish that hurts this one its a bit burnt and doesn’t seem to come together well. graham515 (420), Houston, Texas, USA May 26, 2008 Pours copper into the glass with an orange tinge. Aroma is very tart and the bourbon aging is quite apparent. Flavor has a lot of warmth from the alcohol and has a great bourbon finish to it. Pretty smooth and enjoyable. BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA May 22, 2008 22oz bottle pours out a dark amber topped with a small tan head. A nice aroma malt and wood. Tast of bitter hops and a bit. I think this will tast pretty good in a couple of years after the fresh hops die.
