This corked and caged bottled brew from Chris at a rating party poured a head of frothy clear colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a semi-opaque dark orange brown colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was malty mild hop and mild spice. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and strongly tingly at the finish with a vinous aftertaste. The thin flavor contained notes of strong sharp hops and bourbon. Not one that I would likely drink again.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle enjoyed on 8/23/08: Judging by the other ratings, this must have been an ugly baby that turned into a hot teen. A cloudy copper orange pour with a tiny white head. Aroma of citrus and sweet, candied fruit. Subtle ba notes and that bourbon element. Tastes quite smooth and sweet. Did I mention smooth? Caramel and citrus balance with the ba notes. More light fruitiness and ever so mellow. I wish I could remember who to thank for sending this one to Idaho!

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle: Non-clear apple cider color with no head. What an aroma - bourbon barrell, definitely. Coconut, alcohol and alcohol. Dude, after two years, this BW is intense. I wonder what it would be like in a couple years. Flavors are strong and lively alcohol presence combined with hops, wood and total sweetness. What a treat! I can’t believe this is only rated 70%! I completely disagree. Thanks jake65 for sharing this beauty!

Aug 24, 2008 Blue Bottle Pours out a hazy amber topped with no head. Aroma of GREATNESS. Some Almond Joy aroma and wood. Tast of sweetness with the coconut and a little more of the ABV burn. Very tasty after 2 years. This would be over the top in a few more years. thanks Jake for my first Rhode Island brew.

Jul 23, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville NC - thanks to OldGrowth for sharing! Hazy orange pour, slightly viscous. Boozy nose, almost cloying flavor , but note quite. Notes of vanilla and scotch. Very nice warming action!
