Flossmoor Station Wooden Hell

Bottle - thanks to Ditmier. Dark caramel pour with an ample beige head. Fantastic nose! Rich in maltiness, caramel, faded hops, and the bourbon barrel presence compliments the scent rather than dominates it. A perfect 10 for the sniffer. The taste is rich in caramel and faded hops. A little dark fruit and toffee. The bourbon barrel presence is more prominent. Excellent.

Barley Wine Tasting with Hophead22. Aroma of oak, bourbon, smoke and vanilla. Poured a dark amber color with not much head. Taste was very well balanced with hops, bourbon, vanilla, and malts. Low carbonation. I enjoyed this one.

100th rating of theis brew! - Massive thanks to noblesquirrel for the bottle a few months back...Pours dark golden with a medium white head...aroma is incredible, sticky caramel malt, coconut and vanilla oak, only faint bourbon...flavour is similar, sweet and woody...well integrated, oak, caramel, some dark fruit, not an over the top bourbon bomb...warming but I did not find it overly boozy at all...just a terrific treat...

22oz bottle from drewbeerme, huge thanks Andrew! Rating #99. Murky dark brown color with very little head. Slightly boozy aroma, lots of bourbon, very nice. Very rich, more bourbon, just really, really awesome. (1069)

22oz bottle shared courtesy of egajdzis (thanks!). Poured a deeper and cloudy brownish color with an averagd sized off white head. Aromas of lots of woodiness, vanilla, some bourbon, caramel, and some dark fruits. Tastes of wood, caramel, vanilla, bourbon (more than aromas), dark fruits, and brown sugar. Medium aclohol in the finish.

Pours a deeper copper with a smaller bubbly off white head. Aroma of toffee, oak, pepper, dark fruits, wood, cinnamon and tobacco. Flavor of caramel, toffee, vanilla, oak, raisins, nuts and sweet dark fruits.

Big thanks to fogdog for sharing this rare treat. Pours garnet with brown edges and off white head. The aroma brings up notes of oak, vanilla, bourbon, some caramel and an inviting thin layer of dark fruitiness. The taste is smooth even rich goodness with a very nice mix of vanilla, caramel and oak to start. It then picks up some bourbon and booze heat by midway. It gets a bit boozy and more bourbony and a tad chemical boozy into the finish. The taste started strong and amazing but finished a bit rough. Some age should smooth that out but I’m sure there will be almost none of this around by that time.

Bomber generously shared by bring on BA - thanks, Barry! Pours a dark reddish brown color with some tan foam and decent lacing. Awesome aroma of bourbon, oak, vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar. Flavor is more of the same, with a great sweet caramel/toffee malt background, brown sugar, bourbon, oak, vanilla, and some dark fruits. Amazing palate - smooth creamy, and a little syrupy with medium-full body. Overall this is a phenomenal beer.
