| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 21, 2008 Updated: May 22, 2008Guess I’ve got great timing!!! Bartender said it was just tapped that day & is a different version than the bourbon barrel Wheatmiser. Poured into a brandy snifter. Pours a deep copper color. Intense malty aroma, boozy, bourbon, whiskey malt. Taste is intense with sweet malts, light butterscotch, alcohol & bourbon & whisky flavors.The bourbon does not dominate as much as a barrel aged would but adds a nice complexity to it. Very good beer nolankowal (854), Columbus, Ohio, USA
