Dec 21, 2009 Bottle 265/461: Deep amber, brownish hues, small to moderate spritzy off-white head, spotty lacing. Strong caramel notes on the nose. Otherwise a good dose of hops. Seems fairly sweet, loads of caramel. On the
tongue it remains fairly hot. This could stand to be put down for a while longer. I just wish I had a few more to age for a few years. Big barrel flavor comes through on this one. &nbap Certainly much like Bourbon or
Whiskey. Fairly viscous and malty. A little bright, certainly a little hot. Very warming. The sweetness is well balanced. Not cloying at all. Only thing I can say about this beer is that it is
certainly nice to drink now, I think it will only improve with a year or two. Great stuff!

Oct 26, 2009 Bottle… October ‘09 O-Town Throwdown!… This beer rocks!… Murky amber ale with a small, fragile, off-white head. The aroma offers a wealth of caramel, vanilla, bourbon and pouch tobacco. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Vanilla, bourbon, toffee and caramel are the standout flavors. Mild acidity. Warm, but not hot - the bourbon component is not overbearing. Lengthy, caramely, warming finish. World class bottle of beer courtesy of JW77!

Oct 22, 2009 Pours a brownish dark maroon color, with a medium light beige head. Smells of rich bourbon, vanilla cream, caramel, dark fruits, and yeast. Really dug that nose. Awesome. The flavor was of Rich caramel cream and bourbon, with dark fruits, and malts balancing it out, so it wasnt overly hot or a bourbon bomb. Went down smooth as silk, and was extremely flavorful. Great barrel aging on this brew, as it seemed made just right for it. Bravo.
