22oz bottle acquired in trade with lb4lb (thanks!). Poured a deep, dark orange/amber (almost brown) color wtih an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of strong woody/oakiness, earthy, roasty, with light chocolate, and a trace of bourbon. The earthy/woodiness definitely dominates the aromas. Tastes of vanilla, whisky (more than the aromas), caramel, lighter roast, and vanilla. Body a bit on the thinner side.

Bottle thanks to thickfreakness. Sent in a picture to be uploaded. A schwarzbier? Pours with a small, off-white head. Aroma of maple, vanilla, coffee, dirt, slight hops, peat and smoke. Taste is vanilla, bourbon wood, vegetables and smoke. Mild carbonation. Water like mouthfeel.

22. Thanks, BVC! Pours a murky dark brown with very light gray fizz. Big red wine nose. Medium body, low-carb, very clean. Brown bread, raisins, and red wine on the mid-palate. Mild sweet finish.

Aroma has the whiskey bourbon barrel wood on the nose. Black body with some amber red tynt when held to light. Flavor was smooth bourbon beer with some coco and caramel mixed in there. Easy on the palate. Good brew.
