Amber with Red Hue. Sandy Skin. Little to No Aroma. Very Sweet Tasting Initially. Candy Sugar.. Well Carbonated...Bittersweet Dry Ending. Some Bourbon Notes, but Extremely Diluted and Unwanted. Extremely Thinned Down Version of a Bourbon Beer. Perhaps a Good ’Gateway’ Beer to Get Domestic Beer Lovers to Cross Over Gently.

Bottled. Minimal pep. Minimal head. Obvious vanilla flavoring. Can’t decide if this bourbon barrel aging is fake or not. Hint of cheap bourbon aftertaste. Very drinkable and not really offensive. As it warms, loses all hints of character and becomes kinda nasty, though as all macros seem to do. Please note I did not buy this for myself!

a very sweet but decent tasting winter brew considering where it came from.

Once I know its a soda pop replacement, I can evaluate what I am drinking which is cream soda and root beer blend. To that end, this sweet and slightly off beverage makes sense. Corn and sugar sweetness. Way too vanilly syrup. Other than that, you can drink it. Medium mouthfeel.

This one has a bitterness and a dryness to it. It’s not very sweet, but it has an abundance of vanilla in the nose and the palate. too much vanilla It’s not terribel, I bought a six pack and I’m not disappointed. It was actually better than I thought. Add some body and subtract some vanilla and you got something here

One of the worst beers I’ve ever tasted. Imagine if Nyquil came in a caramel flavor.

Average vanilla flavour. On tap at Old Chicago on special wednesday . Too much carbonation. Good attempt for a craft brew from Anheuser-Busch.
