Nov 8, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Deep amber color with a small, foamy, light tan head.
Aroma: Like I am sniffing a bottle of vanilla extract. That’s pretty much it.
Flavor: Like drinking vanilla extract. A bit too sweet and too much vanilla. Thin and nasty.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light but cloying mouthfeel and a long, vanilla finish.
Overall: This one is a mess. Avoid this like the plague.

Nov 6, 2009 Aroma’s of vanilla, are complimented by lots of vanilla flavor. A very drinkable ale not much carbonation after a good pour and lots of creamy beige head that disapeared quickly with little or no lacing. 6% ABV is masked very well with the vanilla sweet finish.I dont know why bourbon cask I dont taste the bourbon at all, we enjoy some very nice bourbon ale’s in KY and this is not one of those.

Oct 6, 2009 Dark amber. Light head. Araoma of vanilla, alcohol a little funky but pleasant. Grows on you like the flavour which starts a bit muddled with lots of vanilla, caramel and bourbon? Needs a stronger beer base. It is an interesting blend.

Sep 29, 2009 I really like this beer and was surprised to find out it is a Bud product. Pours a dark, brown color. There was a little tan head and a tad bit of lacing. Aroma was of malt and vanilla. Taste was vanilla with some malt and caramel. very good

Aug 26, 2009 Not that it’s hard, but this is probably the best A-B seasonal. The vanilla comes through a bit and it’s not terrible.

Aug 13, 2009 Kind of surprised by this one. Anheuser-Busch usually pushes out over carbonated crap beer but this was surprisingly better. Tried it at a Christmas party. It poured very light with a light head. Smelled slightly of vanilla. This tasted almost like Bud Light with vanilla extract in it. My big issue with Bud Light is that it is always over carbonated and has no taste. This wasn’t nearly as carbonated and the vanilla gave it some flavor. Guess if my choices were limited (severely limited) I would drink this around Christmas time.
