The flavor is cheap bourbon, cheddar cheese, and butterscotch. Pretty bad. Poured half my glass down the drain.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 22, 2008 Bottle. 2008. Dark copper body with suspended floaties. Off-white head that diminishes. The aroma is dominated by bourbon and oak. Behind that are notes of overripe fruit , caramel and alcohol. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, but not cloyingly so, lightly bitter and lightly bitter. It has flavors of vanilla, sugar, peat, bourbon, roasted malts. It finishes with alcohol and moderate sweetness, light bitterness. Medium to full body, velvety texture, minimal carbonation. Easy drinking despite the heavy sweet flavor.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2008 Bottle: Poured a lightly cloudy deep amber color ale with a small foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of bourbon and sweet malt dominates. Taste is a fine mix betwen some bourbon notes with some deep sweet marley with some light dry fruit notes. Full body with average carbonation and no alcohol ester where noticeable. Bourbon might be slightly too present and somewhat overshadows the malt but still very solid beer from this fine brewery.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 20, 2008 From a twelve ounce bottle purchased for me in Fairfield , Ohio at Jungle Jims International Market by my girlfriend Nancy - This one pours a golden brew witn a tall white head of foam and an oaky-vanilla scent. The taste was interesting, but too sweet and simple for my choice.
