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.

(12oz bottle, courtesy mar) Pours a clear amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of wood, mustiness, caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. Flavor of vanilla extract, hops (floral), nuts, and some oak.

Pours a deep ruby red with a large head that quicly recedes to a lasting lacing. Aroma is of spice, cinnamon caramel malts, a little brown sugar and weakly of hops. Flavor is initially bitter followed by honey and burnt malt. Mouthfeel is decent, medium viscosity. This stuff really isn’t too bad. Not memorable, but pretty decent coming from Anheuser-Busch. Overall, good.

This is by far the best"production beer" made by Anheuser Busch. Too bad they don’t brew this year round. The only real pitfall here is that every bottle tastes different.

The very concept of a bourbon cask aged beer from Anheuser-Busch is possibly the most entertaining beer related concept ever. That being said, it’s not godawful, the vanilla flavor is okay and there’s a slight hoppiness to it. Can’t really taste any bourbon though.

[Bottle] Clear amber with little head. Aroma is spicy with just a hint of alcohol. Flavor is very busy. A lot of spice, some malt, a hint of vanilla. Slightly warm finish. Overall it’s a very confused beer with some potential, if only it could sort out what it wants to be.

This beer pours a clear amber color with a thin head that fades rather quick. The aroma is subtle and kind of malty with some hints of hops but nothing strong. the flavor is kind of sweet and full of caramel malt and toffee. There is some good carbonation and for a cask ale it is not that bad. there are much better spice herb beers out there but this one is surprisingly good.

Tap. Pours fairly brown. Flavors at times have an okay vanilla tone to it. Mostly oak aged rice water. Mouth is a little sticky.

Bottle. Sweet caramel aroma. Reddish amber body, small head. Flavor is sweet, artificial, caramel apples and vanilla. Quite repulsive.
