Union Barrel Works Double Barrel

Brewed in the USA... Pours amber in color with a small off white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, grains and possible fruit. Taste of toffee, grains, wood chips and bourbon !!! Mouthfeel was medium in body with a slight alcohol warmth at the finish. I really had a hard time drink this stuff....... Yukk.

Pours a clear dark amber with a minimal head. Heavy toasted malt nose with a bit of citrusy hops. The flavor is very grainy and a bit off-putting, it almost tastes dusty. The finish is especially harsh and grainy. Mouthfeel is thick and coursely grainy. This was a weird, an experiment that seems to have gone awry. Imperial Vienna? No thanks.

On draft at the brewpub. Easily the worst of the bunch. Looked like a standard Vienna but smelled and tasted like glue. Didn’t even finish half of it. One to avoid.

pretty good brew, best element of it was the nice kinda roast after taste that it gave,

On draught at the brewer. Sweet, diacetyl notes in the nose. Deep amber pour with a nice head that diminishes to ring lace. Dark fruity esters and sweet malt flavors are enhances by light carbonation levels and a soft mouthfeel. Weird that for a winter warmer, the ABV is more noted in the beginning than the end.

On tap at the brewpub. Looked great with a nice, stand-up head. The aroma was the first hint of trouble to come. The sweet malt of a Vienna was there, a bit of caramel, mouthfeel OK....but there was some wierd off-flavor at the end. As a homebrewer I recognized that off-flavor, I THINK it was exposure to oxygin. Then again, the keg had just been changed, so I will give this one the benefit of the doubt and try it again in a week or two.

Orange-brassy color with lightly roasted malt aroma and some sweetness. Warm malt biscuit dominates. A great winter warmer.

had this at Spilt Rock Beer Fest. not to good. very bland beer. I’d pass on this one.
