On tap at the brewery. This dark brown ale poured with a thin beige head and a fruity aroma. There is a very rich sweet malt flavor with lots of fruit and some nice bourbon heat at the finish. This is a nice brew.

Sacramento Brewing’s swan song, attractive pour of bright golden orange with no head. Full, oak, coconut, vanilla and bourbon nose. Similar flavor with some dried fruit. Decent mouthfeel.

On tap @ Bistro BA Fest poured a hazy orange with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of bourbon, oak, wheat, spice and light vanilla. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of bourbon, oak, wheat, spice and light vanilla with a smooth warming lingering bourbon finish.
