Had this on tap at Bailey’s Taproom in Portland, OR. Colour... orange-brown with a thick head. Nose... woody, acetic and malty. Palate... TANGY, mustardy, thin mouthfeel, almost puckery with the tanginess. Doesn’t seem even remotely doppelbock-ish or bourbon-like to me!

Draft at Concordia Ale House. Pours a brown with tan head. Sweet slightly tangy nose. Flavor is caramel, bourbon, sweet, and tangy. Yum! I loved this beer, I kept tasting flavors in here as it progressed. Fig, vanilla, chocolate, brown sugar, oak. This beer was surprisingly good. I loved the tang!

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a hazy dark amber color with a small off-white head. Has a sweetish malty caramel aroma with some fruity oaky vanilla hints. Sweet warming malty caramel and vanilla flavor, also some hints of chocolate. Has a sweetish malty fruity caramel and vanilla finish.

Pours dark brown with a thin smooth beige head. Big sweet bourbon nose, lightly boozy, vanilla, soft chocolate. The malt profile in this is really nice, smooth body, chocolate and earthy bourbon, dry oaky finish, a bit boozy, but still delicious.

On tap at Belmont Station--Poured a thick, dark brown-black opaque body with a tiny off-white head. Sweet, oak and bourbon notes. Odd melding of styles. Astringent and bitter finish with lots of residual malty roasty sweetness. Alcohol heat hits at your core and unveils itself about a third of the way through the pint. This beer would be great mid-winter in the Northwest. I liked it a lot a lot!
