tjthresh (1746), Greenfield, Indiana, USA Nov 7, 2009 Muddy brown. No head. Chocolaty cherry with some citrus nose. Caramel and vanilla and a woody dry finish. Ughsmash (3981), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jan 24, 2009 On tap at FoBAB. Poured deep, murky amber with a well-retained, creamy cap of beige head. The aroma picked up sweeter toffee and caramel over oak, vanilla, and sweet bourbon.. warm, sweet, and well-done. The flavor had sweet caramel and candied toffee at the core with plenty of bourbon and vanilla around.. lots more tasty, well-integrated bourbon on the finish. Medium-plus bodied with low carbonation and increasing barrel presence as it warmed.. only flowed decently. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Jan 3, 2009 FoBAB 2008. Poured a hazy dark orange color. The head was khaki with an orange tint. Smelled of citrusy hops, cotton candy, caramel, and oak. Full bodied and slightly sweet with caramel, cotton candy, oak, and citrusy hops. Kind of orange liqueur-ish...and good. pantanap (1323), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 31, 2008 tap at piece. thanks to dukefan for informing me that this was on tap... dark caramel brown pour with a very thin light brown head... sweet rich bourbon, vanilla, and toffee notes that make up the aroma...flavors continue on a similar scale with sweet smooth caramel and toffee. sweet.richness with some compromising bitter hops in the finish. somewhat hot and warming. carbonation level low but noticeable....a very nice and slow winter warmer sippin brew. chicagodri (1021), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 30, 2008 Tap @ Piece. Served a little too cold (like their other Barrel Aged beers). Pours a caramel color with a thin tan head. Nice aroma of caramel, vanilla, and bourbon. Great flavor, the body is really creamy. Taste has a lot of caramel, vanilla, and bourbon. Really sweet. Great beer though, I wish they had this more often. ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Dec 27, 2008 Pours a dark amber color with a bubbly ring of a head that is a pale canvas color. Lacing is pretty nice. Nose is massive amount of coconut and vanilla. Taste is the same with an additional caramel and whiskey component and some dark brown sugar on the finish. Mouthfeel is nice and sticky and the finish is long. Nice. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA Dec 6, 2008 FoBAB 2008. caramelly color, thin tan head. strong vanilla aroma, with high whiskey whiffs. quite astringent alcohol flavor up front, followed by a smoooth creaminess. full bodied, astringent finish. the alcohol hit was the best part for me. holdenn (1432), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 1, 2008 FoBAB 08. Pours brown with an off white head. Malty nose of brown sugar. Lightly sweet malt flavors of watery bourbon, brown sugar and vanilla.
