To me, the appearance is very appetizing especially when enjoyed in a snifter glass. Depending on temperature, will get different aromas - at first, vanilla, but when a bit warmer, you will smell the bourbon.
A wonderful dessert beer. 9er (29), Delaware, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Aug 28, 2008 This shit is good. it pours cloudy and murky, but the flavor is mildly sweet and not offensive. I appreciate the simplified flavor that actually is quite pleasant. The head leaves after a few minutes and long legs lace the glass as you imbibe. Recommended. dwyerpg (2529), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 29, 2007 Aroma is a battle between the vanilla and the malt liqour alcohol. Taste is very vanilla up fron too and some wood finishing w/the alcohol right there. Pretty good stuff but a little pricy. Cool bottle, like a rocket. Probably gets a little bit of a bad rap because it’s an attempt at a nice beer by Budweiser. Decent I thought. thedm (3834), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 19, 2006 This bourbon barrel oak aged bottle came in a two glass gift set. I recently purchase a bottle by itself from a local store where the owner pulled the bottle out of the gift set and sold me the bottle separately in the hopes of selling the glasses to someone else. The set cost $16.99 and the bottle was $8.99. Hot stuff and I drank this a while ago on Valentines Day as we celebrated our Love for each other over a Fondue and this brew. I thoroughly enjoyed a brew from AB that actually had some flavor to it. The bottles brew poured a small sized head of foamy off-white colored mostly diminishing finely sized bubbles that left behind a beautifully colored softly carbonated caramel brown colored body and a poor oily lacing. The aroma was mild in its vanilla content and otherwise malty. The mouth feel was tingly from start to finish and increased as time went on. It had a strong vanilla caramel malt flavor that was vinous and malty overall. The vinousness was well hidden. Truly a very interesting brew from AB and I was glad to see them coming out with something that actually had some flavor to it. TheBeerBaron (219), Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 7, 2007 Cloudy brown color. No head and no visible carbonation. Vanilla and plum aroma, but no hops noticed. Medium palate with more carbonation than was seen from the glass. Definite vanilla bean and suble molasas flavor. No hops, no bitterness. A peat like flavor, unique like a beer blended with whisky or scotch. Very good. When the professionals at A-B are given the OK to show creativity and actually use some quality ingredients - they can deliver. onehotsexychic (101), Albany, New York, USA
