Mar 25, 2008 22oz bottle thanks to travisd13. Pours a thick looking dark brown with dark red highlights. Small, crispy, off-white head that fades quick and leaves just a hint of lace. Smells hoppy with a bit of fresh wood. Tastes hoppy and a bit spicy with some wood flavors and no bourbon flavors to speak of. Medium body, crisp carb. However they barrel aged it, they should have done it longer.

May 15, 2009 2008 Bottle #12 - Pours a beautiful ambery brown, slight off-white head, Brown sugar dominates the aroma, tastes of dried fruit, Redman and booze. There is a definite alcohol presence, but isn’t the burn that alot of other fortified brews have. Pleasant bitterness balanced with a malty goodness, I will drink this again...

Apr 29, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a one finger light tan head. Aroma of bourbon, sweet malt, vanilla, caramel, floral hops, and oak. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouth feel with a moderate amount of bitterness and slightly warm alcohol. Very good.

Mar 31, 2008 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Merritt Island Throwdown ’08: Bottle. Pours a caramel apple color, with a thin watery head, and decent lacing. Slight booze in the aroma, with molasses and brown sugar. Decent amount of hops. Grainy flavor, fair amount of malts. Hops are subdued, and there’s a slight tartness. Bourbon? Nah. Sticky, medium-body. Flavor is lacking overall.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a medium clear caramel color with no head. Malty anroma with caramel and light wood notes. The taste was the same and NO bvourbon and sweet woody notes in the finish. Not bad, but it feels like false advertising.

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.

Mar 14, 2008 bottle. A nice, drinkable, bourbon ba barley wine if there is such a thing. I like it because its very drinkable yet with subtle toffee, caramel, oak, and mild bourbon flavors.
