May 8, 2008 Draft. Ya know i thought this was real good one night when i was drunk, i got marshmellow, caramel, bourbon, chocolate. But the next time i realized it was a poor attempt at chocolate bourbon beer.

May 2, 2008 Bottle: Pour a clear orange with a weak bubbly off white head. Immense vanilla aroma. Sweet vanilla extract with only a hint of caramel. Thin, fizzy body. Papery flavor, and much less sweet than the aroma suggests. Hints of vanilla; it’s basically a vanilla seltzer. Pretty bad.

Apr 28, 2008 12 oz bottle born on 10/19/07: Bright cherry and amber pour with a thin white head. The nose is sugary sweet with notes of cherry and vanilla. A nice dose of sweet chocolate and burnt caramel follow up the fruit. Thin, lagerish body. Starts sweet and ends really sweet. A moderate dose of gooey caramel starts things off, with lighter notes of candied cherries. The finish is straight Sugar Babies. Interesting take for AB, but a beefier base beer would definitely offset the excessive sweetness.

Apr 21, 2008 A tad sweet for its style in my opinion, and noticeably unbalanced. It poured a bright reddish copper colour with a large fluffy almond coloured head. Aroma is slightly nutty and sweet, with a light, well carbonated off sweet taste.

Apr 14, 2008 Updated: Jan 11, 2009Twist-off bottle, undated. Pours a clear Mahogany red with a solid tan head. Oaky, malty aromas. Light-to-medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Early toffee character. Caramel flavor dominates. Sweet flavor balance. Subtly vanilla notes. Very late oak dry finish.

Apr 13, 2008 Bottle - Large, but unimpressive head with no retention. No lacing. Weak spicy aroma. Nice copper color. Some vanilla in the taste. This is a reasonable attempt by AB to create a different product. Not great, but kind of interesting. Much better then their flag ship macro brews. Would drink again.
