daknole (2802), Plantation, Florida, USA Oct 26, 2009 Brown pour. Aroma is fruity and oak with some light vanilla notes. Flavor is fruity as hell, lots of malt sweetness and vanilla. Damn fine beer. ruffhauser (27), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 23, 2009 Updated: Oct 27, 2009on tap at Naked City Anniversary Party last night. Real surprised, complex flavors, super interesting. Boozy, yet sweet with caramel. drewbeerme (2224), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 22, 2009 bottle. i think from kan, probably from kan. pours ruby off white head. nose if peaty, ripe fruit. flavor is peaty, red fruit, doughy, sweet caramel. Cole (265), , Alberta, Canada Sep 11, 2009 Sweet fruity aroma with strong oak notes. Pours deep brown. Very oaky flavour, very rich and malty. Slightly nutty a nice mouth feel and a slightly boozy finish. You can deffinatly taste the bourbon cask. Macadem (100), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Sep 7, 2009 A full bodied, rich amber colored ale, this smells of brown sugar, molasses, spice and strong notes of the bourbon barrels. A creamy mouthfeel, almost feels like a liquid marshmellow. Tastes sweet, and again the barrels are quite evident. Savvy1982 (303), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Sep 7, 2009 Bottle, with many thanks once again to bitbucket. Shared with Cole and Macadem. Nose is fantastic, big sweet bourbon, the best oak-aged beer I’ve had since Bourbon County Stout, plus sweet dark fruit, raisins, caramel, dark toffee, molasses. Palate is huge and smooth, lovely bourbon accents on a nice fruity scotch ale base. Unlike many bourbon-aged beers I’ve had, the wood complements rather than overwhelms. No sign of alcohol, an absolute delight! Tmoney99 (4652), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Sep 1, 2009 Bottle shared by shigadeyo.
Poured a clear dark brown color with a moderate fizzy brown head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Medium toasted malt, wood and earthy scotch aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy bourbon sweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
A smooth complex drinkable brew. pantanap (1322), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 28, 2009 bottle from a trade....did not take accurate notes on this one but thoughts are very similar to that of mike’s below me. very little barrel coming through in either the aroma or flavor. an abundance of dark fruit, caramel, and a little vanilla. average mouthfeel at best....surprised to see such high marks for this brew. hmmmm.
