Dec 5, 2009 A bourbon barrel quad from the Bruery- how can this one not be good? Pours deep, dark amber-brown with a tan head. Nose is bourbon, raisin, candy sugar, spice, pears, light fruit, goodness, and a hint of Christmas Spirit. Flavor is pear, bourbon, spice, vanilla, candy sugar, some booze, and raisin. Medium body, bourbon, and lingering raisiny sweet quadness. Very enjoyable and a lamentable absence when the bottle is empty.

Nov 14, 2009 Bottle at PP Carlsbad. Cloudy amber hue, mostly dissipating head. Nose is winter spices, woody oak, vanilla, dark
fruits, thick malts, amazingly unique and delicious! Flavor is similarly amazing with big spices and malts, syrupy molasses, dark fruits, caramel, finishes super sweet. Medium-full body, low carbonation, thick texture. An amazing barrel aged beer full of flavor and spices, everything was done right here, glad I got to taste it!!!

Oct 28, 2009 Poured a murky dark brown.
Nose was rich, lots of oak, vanilla, brown sugar, and hints of purple fruits.
Taste was shockingly good, I found regular partridge to be a sweet trainwreck of a beer, but the oak tanins and the borubon heat cut right through that sweetness and added a whole new dimension to the beer. cherry flavors appear on this one, nice vanilla, oak/wood, fig, cocoa, tons of flavors all playing very will with the barrel aging,

Oct 28, 2009 Unlabeled bottle @ the Bruery. Pours a deep cola brown with a wispy beige head. Nice nose of vanilla, dark candied fruits, oak, bourbon and a hint of spice. Flavor was much of the same with almost no booze on the finish. The bruery is becoming one of my favorite brewery’s ....hands down.
