Small white head, fair retention with little lacing. Hazy gold color. Lightly sweet malt nose, honey and vanilla with a touch of alcohol. Medium body, creamy and coating. Vanilla up front more honey,spice, bubblegum and notes of candy sugar, cookies? . Alcohol not evident in the flavor. Medium sweet finish. Thanks to PWalk fer the multiple samples of this big ass brew!

Draft at the Grey Lodge in Philly. I had this about an hour after it was tapped. Maybe it was too fresh. I really only tasted the alcohol. If there was any Vanilla taste it got killed. Tasted like a Grand cru shot.

Tasted from a growler supplied by PWalk and setup by egajdzis (thanks!). Poured medium and lightly hazy golden color with a smaller sized off white head. Grainy and doughy aromas and tastes with light vanilla. Light citrus in there as well. Some alcohol in the finish but no where near the 14%. Medium sweet.

Poured a golden color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of honey, caramel malts, tropical fruits, grains, yeast, faint vanilla, and some dough as well. Taste was very citrusy, some dried fruits, vanilla bean, yeast, and light hops in the finish. The alcohol was no where in the taste, but you could feel the % as it hit your stomach. Really nice, thanks for hooking this up Casey!

On Tap @ GLP: Pours a dark gold producing a blonde head. Aroma is sweet with some alcohol detected. Flavor is what you expect in a BSA except the vanilla is present throughout. The finish has a good litle burn to it. I liked this beer.
