Herbal bready and oaked nose. Somewhat hot and peppery up front with some overripe plum notes. Lots of oak and bread come thru. Hot lingering finish.

Nov 27, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GABF: Pours a clear pale golden bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of big oaky whiskey and sweet pale malt. Body starts with a mild sweetness and caramel notes and some big alcoholic warmth. An interesting brew, but could hide its abv better. Pretty complex though.

Nov 9, 2007 FoBaB ’07. Subtle, bourbon aroma; sweet. Relatively clear amber body. Peppery and somewhat hoppy. Strong alcohol presence. Gold Medal winner in the Strong Pale Beers style at 5th Annual Festival of Wood and Barrel-aged Beer (FoBaB).

Nov 5, 2007 FoBAB 2007: Lovely copper hue with a small but lasting head. The aroma has notes of caramel, walnut, corn syrup (good thing for once), grassy and herbal vapours and some oaky notes. The taste starts with a hit of juicy fruit gum over layers of rich biscuity malts. Some minor noble hop bitterness show in the middle before wandering off towards a moderate bourbon and peppery finish. A well rounded flavor profile is highlighted by the smooth and sticky mouth feel. A darn solid brew and worthy of the medal it won.
