Poured a clear dark golden chestnut color. The aroma had a mild very smooth bourbon nose. Some vanilla and sweet raisins. The flavor had a light tartness to it. Malty with a dry finish. Mild bitterness on the tail.

Rich malty melanoidins, followed quickly by sensual bourbon teasers,and as it warms some oak comes shining through. Taste comes out a little raw,very woody ,slightly sour bourbon mash,totaly overpowering any malt sweetness, a little harsh,I’m guessing these just weren’t good barrels. The mix was only ok,but the whiskey just didn’t mix that well with the malts

750ml bottle @Mels YEHA-pours a light tan head and reddish/brown color. Aroma is dark malt-chocolate/licorice, some acidic. Taste is dark malt-chocolate/licorice, some acidic, dark fruit, oak. Thin finish. Not to style for my taste, comes across as an ale-Imperial Stout.

Nice large frothy light brown head of varying sized bubbles. Light bourbon in the aroma with lots of sweet malts, slight fruity tartness also. Sweet and malty like a good dopple should be. Color is a nice chocolaty brown with a hint of red around the edges. Hmmm, body and flavor is a bit thinner than expected. Some chocolaty malts, toffee, hint of tartness again. Kind of vinuous tartness. Very feint bourbon flavor. I guess kind of an oaky bourbon. Finishes warm and malty with a hint of zippy tartness. A decent brew but I really expected more than this.

1 liter flip top bottle. Pours a dark muddy brown with a medium beige head. Aroma of bourbon, chocolate, cocoa, and sourness. Taste of bourbon, cocoa, and sour flavors. A weak dopplebock enhanced only by the bourbon.

Ewwww. Sweet/sour taste to this brew. Smell like straight vinegar with caramel tossed in. As you can guess the flavor was the same.
