Adam77 (407), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA Mar 27, 2009 Poured amber with small white head. Aroma of apples and a touch of booze. Sweet apple flavor with a touch of brandy and spice. Very sweet. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Jun 2, 2008 Draft at Capones. Wow i guess im the highest rater on this one. A golden body with a good touch of bourbon and spiced grand cru. I enjoyed it a bit. KawaBomber (193), New Jersey, USA Mar 20, 2008 Draft: Peachy golden body w/ a small white head, crazy sediment hanging throughout. Sweet almost pineapple-like aroma. Flavor has an apple & spice sort of thing going on w/ a sour finish. Didn’t really care for this one... michael-pollack (2603), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 15, 2008 Draught: Aroma of apples, vanilla, and herbal hops. Poured gold in color with a small, dense, white head that lasted throughout. Sparkling. Hazy. Light to medium sweet flavor. Tastes of apples, bourbon, and vanilla. Too much bourbon flavor. Medium body. Chalky texture. Average carbonation. Bourbon finish. I am so sick of bourbon aged beers. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 10, 2008 Draft at Capone’s. Pours chill hazy golden with minimal head. Aroma is apricotty and apply fruit, some chardonnay-like notes, and mild spicy florals. The taste is fruity, rather dry, floral, with the profile reminding me of a watered down apple chandonnay. Unique for sure, but not something I’d drink a lot of. TomDecapolis (3130), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 27, 2008 On tap at Capones. Pours a lightly hazy golden orange with no head. Aroma of apple cider, some Belgian yeast esters, vanilla and a touch of some woody notes. Flavor was much of the same. Really reminded me of a cider. Still some of the Grand Cru there. But the barrel aging really kind of did something odd. johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA Feb 25, 2008 Poured amber with no head. Aroma of apples and brandy. Very sweet flavor. Almost like a cider. Apples with a mellowed out brandy. JB175 (1654), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 23, 2008 Draft @ Capones. Orange color with no head. Aroma dominated by apples, sugar, brandy, wood and yeast. Flavor starts out a bit apply and woody, but is very thin and pretty blah. Seems to have some good parts, but its a mess. Their Grand Cru was not the beer to do this with.
