| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 7, 2009 22 oz. bottle from kp. Pours a deep amber color with a small ecru colored head (I have been waiting to use ecru). The aroma was big caramel malty goodness with vanilla, bourbon and oak. The flavor again was heavily malted, sweet, caramel, bourbon was well integrated, vanilla, smooth, some bitterness. I certainly think this is better than the ratings would indicate.

Poured a hazy dark brown color with a minimal frothy off-white head that was mostly lasted and good lacing. Moderate to heavy toasted sweet, woody and whiskey aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy toasted sweet malt and bourbon flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate to long duration.
This is a standout brew. BuckeyeBoy (1672), Boise, Idaho, USA
