| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | May 24, 2007 Poured from a tap at a wedding I attended. Uncommonly red in color. Strange mix of vanilla and nut flavors. VERY sweet. TOO sweet. Seems like they just mixed a bunch of sweet junk together without regard to structure or balance. edden (927), cow- lumbus, Ohio, USA

I only got it at first because we built a snowman and this looked hillarious in its hand. But once I actually drank one with my snowman I found out why he liked it. ITS FANTASTIC! Especially for being made by AB. Notes of burbon and vanilla infused with some other taste that I can only describe as "Snow Nymph Blood". Easy drinking at a good price. Stock up in November for your own snowmen. superd44688 (49), Canton, Ohio, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 12, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Sweet vanilla and nutty aroma. Amber body with decent head. Had a carbinated sweet vanila cream soda flavor. Had a vanilla sweet aftertaste on palate. A warming effect of the alcohol so could be a winter warmer if on sale. BBB63 (4228), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | May 6, 2007 Bottle and served in my Unibroue glass: Pours a deep reddish brown with a quickly fading head and zero lace. The aroma has notes of vanilla, raisin, prune, caramel malts, liquorice, and heavy yeast esters. Then I took a taste...WTF!...It taste like a bad Coke and whisky mixed drink with no good bourbon character, just booze and sugary sweet syrup. Cloy and a complete mess. Dumped more than half the glass and now attempting to wash to taste out of my mouth. ARGGH, maybe too old, I dunno? The last of my mixer sixer, thank goodness that is over, but u gotta do what u gotta do sometimes. Ibrew2or3 (2724), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | May 2, 2007 12oz bottle from Degarth, thanks again.
How is it this is a cask ale from a bottle? I don’t get it. Copper color with no head. The aroma is sweet and really not too bad. I get some dark fruitiness, some wood planks, vanilla (or cream soda) and faint smoke. The flavor on the other hand starts off tasting like a soda. Then it moves into a bourbon flavor. Seems to taste only vaguely like beer with a hint of dark fruitiness in there somewhere.
