Mar 26, 2008 Tap at HUB. Poured a brilliant amber/copper in color with low head. Very similar to the abominable (since it’s essentially the same beer) Slight sweetness with more alcohol notes and spices. Bourbon flavor very faint. A great beer.

Dec 2, 2007 At 2007 Winter Ale Festival in Portland, Oregon--Poured a murky orange and tawny body with a medium-sized lacing whitish head. Musty earthy fruity robust nose. Well carbonated and nicely rounded. Finished creamy and bitter. Very subtle bourbon flavors. Very enjoyable!

Dec 2, 2007 On Tap a Holiday Ale Festival...Tasty brew from HUB, I was pleased with the ease of drinkability. Orange amber, floral nose with a bit of tickle of malt and sweetness. Tasty brew I hope to find outside of the festival.

Nov 30, 2007 On tap at the Holiday Ale Fest 2007. Very solid winter beer, shows that this brewery will be quality. Lightly toasty malts, doughy and fruity, crisp hops in the finish, with spicy orange character. The bourbon doesn’t take over, milder, adding a soft sweetness that gives more depth to the malt flavor.

Nov 30, 2007 Holiday Ale Fest... Floral malt aroma, smooth and mellow malt but a hearty body and taste. Vanilla and almond with hops and malt. Great combo of ingredients, and the barrel aged adds great compliments.
