It has aged very well and you get a huge amount of malt coming through with a very mellow taste of bourbon which ended up going down very smooth. A little oxidation but every bottle is different so you never know what you will get. BuckeyeBoy (1674), Boise, Idaho, USA

Big sweet nose of caramel, honey, plum, and soft bourbon. Very faint oxidation. Finish picks up an interesting mild sourness that actually really works nicely against some of the sweetness. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA

A bit murky brown/copper pour with a very thin head. Nose is fruity, light barrel notes and overall rather sweet. Very silky. Tastes fruity with bourbon accents, a light sweetness into a sour and tart finish. Very much an A+ brew. ditmier (1110), Boise, Idaho, USA
