Mar 31, 2009 Bottle… C&P’sLYFO Throwdown… Beautiful, dark, mahogany ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. The aroma is overflowing with notes of bourbon, nuts, tobacco, wood and caramel. Medium-bodied with modest carbonation. Sweet, caramely, woodsy, boozy and lightly acidic flavor. Tangy, warming, dry finish. Kudos to jdubFL for sharing this bottle! * * Video = http://homepage.mac.com/maltajo/RATEBEER/iMovieThe

May 3, 2009 CPLYFO 09. Thanks to JdubFl. Pours a nice dark ruby with a thin head. Aroma is pretty big with the bourbon, caramel, toasty, vanilla, char, big sugary malts, and a bit off the wall fruitiness and some high abv prickliness with solvent. More alcohol and solvent in the flavor- the body seems to thin out a bit, still lots of sugar, bourbon, and wood, but turns thin and lets through some paint thinner notes.

Mar 15, 2009 Sample at O-town throwdown ’09
Pours dark brown.
Aroma is loaded with bourbon and oak wood
Taste, good notes of wood barrel bourbon, and surprisingly sour for a scotch ale. In the mix there are light hints of fruits and sweet sugar.

Jul 28, 2009 9oz draft @ For the Love of Hops 6/6/09 (Enjoyed with FlssmrBrewAlum)-Poured a dark amber with a small off white head. Aroma of bourbon. Taste of the same with some sourness as well. This light to medium bodied brew might possibly be infected. Not what I was expecting. Wish I could try uninfected.

Jun 7, 2009 9 oz draft courtesy of the TB Hop Juice release (Warrenville, IL). Poured a hazy dark brown, lighter around the edges, small offwhite head that laces minimally. Aromas throw smaller bourbon, peat, caramel, vanilla. Very nice. Subtle sweetness. Initial is, let’s be honest here, possibly infected. Lighter bodied, packing on a decent sourness and booziness, some vanilla and caramel, but sourness takes over. Bourbon, vanilla, oak up front moves quickly to sour bretty feel. This HAS to be infected. Me and Headnager agree. An ok beer, and the sourness is not detrimental to the overall experience, I just feel that this was NOT how this beer was supposed to be. Good, but wrong. Cheers!
