Commercial Description:
During even the coldest of weather, warm up to the smooth, robust taste of our Winter’s Bourbon Cask Ale. Full of rich aromas that you find in the winter months, hints of vanilla and flavorful hops, this is a beer that is great for pouring into a large tulip glass and enjoying with friends around a fireplace.

Pours brown with a moderate, white, fluffy head. Aroma is pretty caramel. Flavor is watery and caramel. I don’t taste bourbon in there honestly.

Suprised to find a bourbon cask ale on tap at a bar. What a scam. Drinkable but to bourbon or cask flavor. Thin and sweet. No wonder no I find out it is a Bush.

On tap at Pat Obriens in Orlando. Pours a lightly hazy amber and a medium creamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of root beer, artificial vanilla and a touch of oak. Flavors were along the same. Very artificial...mix of vanilla, some bourbon and oak with a touch of malty sweetness and caramel.

Copper color with little head. Sweet smell is mostly vanilla with some bourbon. Mostly vanilla cream flavor with hints of booze and wood. A malt driven beer here with a double shot of vanilla. 11706

Well, I had thought this would be enjoyable, however, if it says Anheuser-Busch, then it likely sucks and sucks it did. Extremely strong vanilla made this more of a carbonated vanilla soda pop than a beer. The labels says "ale aged on bourbon barrel oak" Take note that it does not say "in" it says "on". I bring this to your attention because there was nothing barrel nor oaked about this. Save your money.

Bottle (12oz). Courtesy of tomthompson. Bright, clear coppery--amber, with a small fizzy off-white head. Sweet vaguely oatmeal malt, a little vegetal, with only a whisper of vanilla extract. The taste is very sweet and grainy, buttery, slick, flat and sugary, with a kind of Cap’n Crunch version of oakiness. Meh.
