Captain Lawrence Nor’ Easter Winter Warmer

Bottle on October 30, 2009. Bourbon barrels
Clear dark brown color, light brown head. Acidic, wood, alcohol scent. Acidic, sweet, slaty taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Chocolate and wood aftertaste.

1/2 growler from New Beer Distributers in NYC, produces large bubbles in a one finger head that fades quickly leaving big bubbles ringing the glass, and abundant lacing. Killer aroma of bourbon, cherries, candied sour apple. Slightly dry taste of oak, with flavors of mellon, cherries, and other berries. Verges on being a sour style beer. Throat puckering dry aftertaste and definite wood on the palate. The alcohol stays hidden until you burp it. Man, I’m partial to these bourbon barrel aged beers.

Bottle from BFC... Dark brownish color, decent head... Strong nose of apples, bourbon, oak, dark fruits. Taste is nice... Smooth but warming, light apples, malt, oak, berries, spices and just the right touch of bourbon... Twelve percent really? Well hidden. Nice texture....really easy to drink. Overall a nice beer to sip on and watch the phillies kick ass in the postseason. Go Phillies! Thanks Jake! Get your self some...

Tap @ Barcade. Pours dark with little to no head. Chocolate, oak, dark malts, light bourbon and berries all influence the flavor of this beer and allow for this complex aroma. Twelve percent seems very drinkable especially if its cold out.

Bottle sample at Noogfest High 5. Batch 3. Poured dark brown with a thin quick tan head. Aromas of caramel and fruit. The flavor has dark fruits, sweet malts, and light alcohol. medium body and dry.

750 ml bottle - batch #3; dark brown, clear, glowing red tints on the edge; tan head fades quickly; aromas of prunes, mushrooms, vanilla, oak; body is thin and a little boozy; sweet and rich and bourbon comes out more as it warms; some cherries and earthy notes too; quite complex with different fruits, the barrel, chocolate too; lots of bourbon, but never in a bad way; quite an amazing and unique brew overall

Bottle shared by juiceisloose @ otakuden’s Vero Beach Throwdown. Pours reddish brown with tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, oak and vanilla. Slightly boozy but in a good way. Bourbon flavor with dark fruits, wood, vanilla and some chocolate. Full body with mild carbonation. Very nice.
