Aug 24, 2009 From the Bottle at the Brewery Room of the Great Divide Brewing Company, Denver 10/10/2008
Whisky aroma. Mid brown coloured smooth on the palate and very strong in alcohol with a bitter and slightly dry warming finish.

Aug 20, 2009 What a great beer. The pour is a clear dark brown with a bit of a tan head. The nose is wonderful chewy malts and big hops with a nice compliment from the bourbon barrel. All of the great Ruffian flavors are there and the booze and oak are just along for the ride. Full and rich with a dry alcoholic finish. I love this.

Clear dark amber brown with small white head. Deep dark fruits, oak dark sugars, and hints of creosote in the flavor. Finish is dry and moderately bitter with whiskey and wood coming through. Fantastic.

Jul 4, 2009 Thick, viscous brew both in appearance and mouth feel. Hearty aroma of dark, fermented fruits, bran cereal, and bitter-sweet baked goods. The scent permeates the air around the glass and invites you in for a great experience. Smooth whiskey effect ties the malty flavors with the floral hints. Nutty with plenty of roasted malts and green faded hops. Complex and well aged, it awakens all of the senses.

Jun 28, 2009 750 ml bottle - oh yea, thanks brandon!! been wanting to drink this for a while and always seemed to get put off; dark orange with slight tan head; lovely rich nose of zesty sugar, spice, fruit, caramel, vanilla; full bodied, creamy texture and a delight to drink; some whiskey is there, but in a complimentary fashion; just a bunch of rich, barley wine goodness
