| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 16, 2009 Numba 10!
Appearance: Pours like a murky apple cider with a few soapy suds a top. Almost looks like a kraussened yeast starter.
Aroma: Caramel, hard cider, spiced cider, spicy hops, pear and dark booze.
Taste: Caramel, bitter euro hops, apple crisp and dark rum.
Mouthfeel: thick and warming.
Overall: My god I loved it. While on paper its double the double barrel ale, its really like 10 x better than OG DBA. DaSilky1 (1999), San Diego, California, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Tap at City Beer. Pours with a hazy dirty brown color. Nice aromas of wood and leather. Flavors exhibit some alcohol hotness but also some nice notes of toastiness and wood. In addition there is some caramel and butterscotch. A complex beer that is more subtle than most bourbon barrel aged beers.
