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.

Sneaky AB product. Are they too ashamed to put AB larger on the label? Bottle. Pours a crystal clear copper, with a thick, dense head. Some heavy malt tones, with vanilla as well. Smooth, with a sweet vanilla flavor. A bit too sweet and too much vanilla for me.

Draft in Oklahoma City. I asked the bartender what this was and who made it. She didn’t know and said it was Winter’s. After a quick search for Winter’s, the snow man tap handle confirmed it was an AB product. Poured amber with a fizzy off white head. Had a decent cotton candy aroma with more candy in the taste with some vanilla. I didn’t taste any bourbon and no oak either. Mostly just a watered down beer.

Not very good. Pretty watery, no hops of course. Some maltiness to it. It tasted like a slightly strange octoberfest to me. Sweet finish. Light carbonation and fairly drinkable.

12 oz bottle, born on Halloween 2007- poured transparent light brown with moderate carbonation. Aroma of malt, notes of vanilla and bourbon. Hits the mouth with a medium body, notes of fruit, vanilla, and bourbon- finish very lacking. Possibly AB’s best offering- and that’s not saying much.

A pretty sweet and malty aroma. Pours a clear deep red in the glass with little-to-no head. Flavor is sweet with vanilla, the slightly higher alcohol content is barely recognizable and there is a little bit of spice from the bourbon. A little cherry flavor, too. Nothing really stands out though, it’s all just mashed together. Better than Beach Bum, not as good as Jack’s Pumpkin Spice. 12 oz. bottle.

Ok,you get a quick whiff of vanilla,a molecule of bourbon, then nothing,taste is a strange mix of weak vanilla,pale malt and again a seed of whiskey,and sweetness,taste like a bunch of weak clashing flavors that don’t complement each other. Name of brew is downright deceptive.

Bottle. Dark amber body with a thick ring of bubbles and a thin film of bubbles. Nose-dusty, vanilla, light wood and bourbon. Taste-cherry, light vanilla, marshmallow, nutmeg, macroness, very light bourbon, slightly corny sweet. Not as bad as I was anticipating.

Bottle: Pours clear amber with small white head. Malty and vanilla aroma. Flavor is malty and caramelly with kind of a toasted vanilla bean flavor. No trace of bourbon or oak in the flavor. How its aged on cask and bottled i dont know. This beer is absurd. By itself it is a bland amber ale with vanilla.
