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.

Reddish brown color with a nice head that fades fast. Not much aroma, some sourness and a little mellow malt sweetness. Taste a little blanc, not much flavor let alone bourbon. A little vanilla and oak.

This is one of my favorites, I can’t wait until it come around again. I love the dark copper amber color, wonderful vanilla flavor and the clean finish.

Smokey chocolate nose, copper, pours a small tan head. Taste is treacle, sweet, average. A big Thank You to my dear Friend Helen.

A thin head that is tan, it quickly dissipates. The color is dark amber with carbonation bubbles. The aroma is toasted malt, a slight hint of bourbon and vanilla. The taste is malt and vanilla with hints of bourbon. The mouth feel is watery and thin. There is hardly a finish on it.

Thin head which dissipates quickly. Light carbonation. Nice cookie dough aroma with some caramel and vanilla. Color is a dark mahagony brown. Flavor is big time vanilla and cream soda. Totally synthetic tasting. Dry and wretched. Not sure if I can finish this bottle. Finishes greasy and grassy (rotten grassy). Not a brew that I would ever try again.

Saw this stuff all over the bars I visited through-out the winter, especially the tap handles. A medium dark colored beer typical head for a macro. A subdued aroma of weakened holiday spices. Taste was below average, a not so secure watering hole. Not worth the advertising dollars.

12 oz bottle on sale: Cinnamon, nutmeg, some sort of funky aroma, a bit of malt and that’s about it. Appearance is an amber color with a thick off white head that lingers around for a while. Taste is big on the vanilla, quite overpowering and heavily spiced. Overall, This beer is all over the place. Not a good beer. Booooo
