Nov 2, 2008 Nip Via trade with tever, thanks so much dude. Shared at my Halloween tasting 2009. Pours brown with a white head. Nose is sweet with tons of bourbon. Taste is also sweet with vanilla and bourbon. A sipper for the size but easy drinking as well.

Oct 27, 2008 Interesting bottle, batch 4 thanks to bu11zeye. One side says 11.1% ABV, but the other side says 10.37%...go figure... Pours with no head or lacing and a deep, clear brown body. Aroma of maple, vanilla, bourbon, and degraded hops. Taste is brown sugar, molassas, banilla bourbon, and some raisins. Syrupy mouthfeel and quite warming.

Sep 27, 2008 Nip bottle from Irishboy - Thanks! Rich amber body, no head. Next to no carbonation. Nose is vanilla, caramel, alcohol, bourbon, dark figgy fruitiness - very very rich. Flavor is rich caramel, a bunch of bourbon, apples & figs, tobacco, alcohol. Very nice but I wish there was a bit more carbonation to lighten up the mouthfeel.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle at after4everr’s tasting.
Lovely vanilla-toffee aroma. Rich caramel flavor, vanilla with a whisper of coconut. Utterly smooth in the flavor integration. Perfect BA beer.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Lots of booze (distinct bourbon) in the nose, but not as much as the Brandy Barrel BW version. I also smelled some molasses and oak hopelessly drowned in the whiskey. Poured a clear reddish brown color. Sweet and full bodied with a warming alcohol effect and very little carbonation. I tasted bourbon, vanilla, and subdued black cherry. Wow.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle shared by Taverner, pours deep woody brown. The nose is spectacular with, well, barley wine and bourbon. The flavor is not quite as good as the bourbon takes over, but it’s still quite nice. It’s smooth on the palate as well.
