Commercial Description:
Oregon Trail Bourbon Porter is a beer as big as the West. Masterfully brewed in the true pioneer spirit. This robust porter is aged in Kentucky oak bourbon barrels. The result is a deep mahogany elixir, rich with oaky smoothness, bold bourbonesque aroma, with hints of fruit and vanilla. Good at either end of the trail.

Thisted tasting. Courtesy of After4eveer, thanks Tom. It is black with a red hue and a creamy head. The aroma has notes of bourbon, wood, roasted malt, light ashes and dark fruits. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of caramel, vanilla, bourbon, spicy alcohol, chocolate and wood. The bourbon is just right for me, a nice one indeed.

No. 2 Bottle shared by Daknole. Pours hazy reddish-brown with thin tan head. Rich bourbon aroma, also filled with coffee, chocolate, coconut, vanilla. Soft, gentle carbonation. Cake crust and mocha cake. Dark chocolate ganache, yum! Roasted coffee. Nice character even if not outstanding.

Pours black without much head forming. The aroma is very sweet showing vanilla, oak, a hint of chocolate, and molasses. The flavor is pretty light, only a hint of roastiness, then plenty of bourbon vanilla, and a bit of cookie dough towards the finish. Medium body.

Bomber. YUM! Dark, dark brown pour wtih a small very light tan head. Aroma is full of lots of bourbon and I love it! Some chocolate, prunes and bourbon and an aroma of coconut...oh yeah. Flavor has a great dose of bourbon but it doesn’t hide the dark fruits, vanilla and chocolate. MMMMM!

Snifter. Pours a dark walnut color. with a small offwhite head. Nose reminds me only of putting whiskey in nestle quik. Chocolate, bourbon, burnt, little toast in the nose. Buttery bourbon flavor with some weaker porter tones, some coffee, some dark chocolate, dry. Great beer, very boozy warm palate.

Pours deep brown with a lasting tight bubbled medium tan head. Awesome oak bourbon nose. The flavor is a bit off, but still oak and coconut mostly. A touch of astringency. A bit thin in the body. Bottle says to drink before 12/24/08, so I think I should have not sat on this one.
