Pours amber. Off white head dissipates fast. Aroma is oak and vanilla. Vanilla overpowers everything and tastes like it’s the fake vanilla at that. No bourbon flavors, not a very good brew.

Bottle. Dark amber pour with medium-thin, off-white head that dissipates quickly. Oaky, vanilla aromas. Vanilla taste predominates and almost seems artificial. Weak hops at first, but a bitterness lingers on the palate for a few moments.

Draught. Pours clear amber with small off white head. Some sweetness in the aroma. The taste has no bourbon, vanilla. Bitterness is non existent. Pretty bland.

Mostly clear orange colour with a mini white year. A little bit of oak in the nose, some bitterness. The flavour is light but finishes with a strong oaky bourbon and alcohol burn.

Draught at 69 Taps. Dark gold color with small beige head. Very weak aroma and flavors. Spicey and a little malty with some vanilla. Too light and boring though.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a crystal clear copper color with a small white head that is gone before the first sip. The aroma what little there is is sweet malt and vanilla. The flavor is sweet malt and vanilla and very little of anything else. No roasted malt, no oak, no bourbon. Light and thin. A bit disappointing, but not unexpected from AB.

Bottle. Pours a medium brown with thin head. Aroma is full of caramel malt, some vanilla. Flavor is on the sweeter side, malty, mostly caramel, and strongly vanilla. Slightly buttery as well, with only just the faintest hint of oak, if any. This one should be called vanilla ale. Not really all that bad considering the brewer.
