Not dominated by the bourbon, which automatically gets a few points from me for not being overdone. Rich and sweet with a ton of caramel, pecan, and vanilla tones. Ends with a bit of peat and a little touch of hayish bitterness. Very light mouthfeel comparatively.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottled. A dark red beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel, while the flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Dec 15, 2009 Small head with some lacing -- maintains a marginal ring. More burnt orange than brown, with some hints of red. Aroma is mild but sweet -- some vanilla sweetness, a faint floral hop quality, and sweet malts. Fizziness hits first -- too carbonated for my tastes - but it soon shows a decent balance between the sweet roasted/vanilla malts (the bourbon definitely comes through) and some drier citrus hops. Not tremendously complex, but as others have noted, this is close to (if not) a session beer. Palate is drier than expected for the sweetness, but is detectable almost exclusively through the middle of the palate. Finishes with a tingle. Not bad for a wintertime session.

Nov 30, 2009 unfiltered brown, small tan head. rich toffee and tangy bourbon approach, malty caramel across the middle, light prickly black-pepper tinged yeast in the finish. texture is moderately caustic with a small dose of petroleum and a heavy amount of black patent malt. good enough.

Nov 17, 2009 Holy cow! (And I don’t just say that because this beer is from WI). A sessionable bourbon beer! Pours dark brown with a white head. Nose is maple, bourbon, roasted malts, and some nuts. Flavor starts fizzy then goes to malt, nuts, and a mild, mellow bourbon quality. This beer has a great niche... much of the bourbon flavor with a mildness and a sessionable quality. Medium bodied and very nice.

Nov 11, 2009 no head, no lace, good flavor but on the sweeter side which is unexpected considering a portion is aged in bourbon barrels. A unimpressive brown ale.

Oct 30, 2009 12oz bottle. Amber/brown pour with a big beige head. Aromas of sweet malt, caramel, bread, hops and wood. Subtle oak flavor up front, followed by caramel and then a dry finish. The barrel is not overdone on this one, which is refreshing.

Oct 24, 2009 Pours dark amber/brown with thin head. Aroma of roasted malts and alcohol. Can easily tell from the first sip that this is aged in a barrel. Good balance, but a bit of an alcohol taste that comes through. Dry finish.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle from Archer Liquor. Pours ruby with a 4-finger "rocky" beige head. Aroma is sweet malt and arguably vanilla from a barrel. Medium body with mild, creamy carbonation. Flavor is very smooth roasted malt. Finishes more bitter than not, and with time the vanilla/oak aspect is quite noticeable. It’s a very good beer.
