Aug 17, 2008 bottle. I was really excited about this beer and was not disappointed. chestnut pour with thin head and lacing. raosted malt just a hint of chocolate and coffee. plum and raison in aroma. Exceptionaly smooth. light fruit. Hops are just right. mild roasted nuttiness. sugars dance on tounge. I was really excited that this was aged with Stranahans oak chips. However I didn’t really get much of their impression. Regardless this was a beautiful beer.

Feb 9, 2008 The bottle poured rich ruby amber color with medium tan head quickly settling to thin white ring, Delicate lacing. A very fruity aroma, almost like apples or apricots, is carried along on smoky oak and sweet caramel and vanilla, with some alcohol. The flavor reminds me of vanilla bourbon, with a soft carb and mouthfeel. Well balanced acidity and mild hoppy bite. Characteristics definitely expand as it warms.

Real light whiskey w/ sweet vanillas, light oak, lots of carmels, a touch of wheaty grains. I like it much better than the regular version.

Dec 29, 2008 Bottle Christmas Present courtesy of a brew loving buddy.
Amber/brown color,small off white head that had a short hang time then faded quickly to leave slight bit behind.The aroma was nicely malty with some hints of caramel and roastiness,a slight hint of possibly coffee or really dark chocolate.The flavor was very good malty flavor up front with some nice roast in there as well as a bit of caramel and some faint hints of chocolate and posiibly some fruit,but that only shows when the brew warms up a bit.Over all a fairly nice brew that is decently smooth and has just a hint of alcohol in the end.Well worth having again.

Dec 6, 2007 From the Firkin at the brewery. No head and not much carbonation. Lots of wood and vanila and some bourbon too. Flavors were similar with a lot al alchol burn in the finish. Not bad.
