Tap @ Rock Bottom. Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, and chocolate. Similar flavor. I also didn’t notice the rye in this beer. Wish I could try the regular version next time I am there. Solid beer though.

Poured into a snifter, this had a very dark mahogany body with a small, creamy tan head that lingered none too long. Nicely blended aroma of Bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, and a touch of old coffee. Very mooth drinking, the flavor was pretty reflective of the sensations from the nose. I kept waiting for the rye to show itself, but it never happened. Very nice after-meal sipper.<br /><br />Rock Bottom Yorktown, Lombard, IL<br />

on tap at RB Yorktown. pours dark brown with small tan head. aroma of bourbon, vanilla &#40;coke?&#41;, some vinous notes too. flavors are loaded with vanilla, winey, oak, chocolate. pretty watery mouth feel. the non-ba version is way better. nice that they had that on tap too.

<i>Taster.</i> Yup, robust vanilla and bourbon smell, giving a strong impression of alcohol. Nearly opaque, blackish brown, with a thin, dark brown head. Taste is big on mocha java. No stout flavors like the regular Rickshaw, but like one of the little chocolate bottles filled with a vanilla liqueur. Not too much rye detectable in this specialty batch, but the barrel aging is to blame for that. Great sweet finish.
