Mar 17, 2009 Bottle at BA tasting in Nashville. Pours mahogany with a thin head. Medium bodied with a slight sticky texture. Aroma of maple and smoke. Flavor of dark caramel and vanilla- rather simple. Some alcohol on the finish, but not in a detrimental way. I don’t get a ton of barrel characteristics on this one.

Mar 15, 2009 A nice little scotch, gotten in trade. Pours medium with good lasting white head, tons of lace.Aroma is decent bourbon. Mouthfeel is easy, average and smooth, good bourbon taste not in-your-face that is well integrated and woody. Very drinkable.

Mar 15, 2009 Pours a deep brown with a tan head - aroma is pure bourbon - couldn’t smell anything beyond that. The taste was reminiscent of drinking a shot of Jack Daniel’s with a little beer splashed in it. Very different from any beer I have tried before. This is definitely a sipping beer. I have a neighbor who loves bourbon and loves beer that will love this stuff. A solid brew but not one I could drink regularly.

Mar 9, 2009 Wawaweewah! This is overpowering. Looks great with a deep red and brown pour and a lasting thin tan head. The aroma is pure scotch. That is all I can find because it is so strong. The flavor is straight up scotch. A little vanilla and coffee shows up if you really look hard, but you have to look hard. I don’t know what to say. It warms me up, but the complexity is totally sacrificed to the whiskey. Try it, because it is completely original, but don’t buy a six pack unless you know what you are getting yourself into.

Mar 2, 2009 Bottle. Very cool label, looks like my Grandpa....haha ((bottle I got was different than the one pictured). Pours a very deep brown with a one finger beige head. Nose was big on bourbon, with some vanilla, oak, caramel and a touch of booze. Flavor was sweet and woody with a good alcohol kick......good stuff.

Feb 28, 2009 Updated: Aug 30, 2009Poured bronze and cloudy with floaters the head was very small and light tan aromas abound off roasted heavy malts and a slight bourbon and alcohol,taste was of heavy malts,oak and bourbon this was a very nice but mild bourbon cask adventure the bourbon by no means overpowers the maltiness of this wee heavy with a 10.2 ABV the flavor of alcohol is not just boubon infused founders is a icon in the american craft beer industry ,and a true blessing for everyone to appreciate I
can’t wait to open my bottle of Alesmith to see how it compares
