jeremytoni (1067), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Mar 28, 2009 From a bottle poured brown with a good amount of head. Flavor and aroma of too sweet vanilla, and a bad lingering finish. ThaBobfather (178), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Mar 26, 2009 Nice bourbony malt here. It’s strong and interesting in the smell. The dark tan pour is nice, but the beautiful head disappears way too quickly. Smooth and malty on the taste. There is a little left on the tounge thats ok. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Mar 23, 2009 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.
markas101 (541), Fargo, North Dakota, USA Mar 21, 2009 33 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA. Very much like a cola with some alcohol in it. Essentially vanilla flavoring over some other kind of beer. Not offensive but far too sweet for my liking. ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Mar 12, 2009 I really doubt this ever spent time in a bourbon cask. This is basically a mild or bitter beer with a ton of vanilla added. Notes of caramel, dusty cellar, cookie, and just a ton of vanilla extract. Honestly it is smooth, it is quaffable, it feels thin, and it is overly sweetened. I like vanilla and I like sugar so I can drink it but.....I am supposed to hate it because it is AB, which I am going to ignore. rampmaster (314), Alden, New York, USA Mar 8, 2009 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: On top it has a light tan and somewhat fizzy, fast fading head. Its head fades out to nothing quickly and leaves no lacing behind. There is some visible carbonation inside of the rich dark amber colored body with good clarity.
Smell: The aroma is very sweet with deep candy like malt character with a soft touch of vanilla.
Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor has a thin malty character with some candy like sweetness and mild caramel notes as well as a soft touch of vanilla throughout. The finish dries a bit and brings some light woody oak notes. The texture is a little bit on the thin side and the body is fairly light as well. The carbonation comes off very fizzy.
Notes: With this beer I was just not really impressed and I would not recommend it. beerchugger (285), Colorado, USA Mar 5, 2009 Updated: Apr 17, 2009This tasted very musty and is otherwise indescribably bad. I could taste the vanilla amidst the must. There was minimal malt character combined with some off spice. Maybe some moth balls would help. This was an absolute terrible beer. Cavie (1300), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Mar 4, 2009 Best cough drop I’ve ever had. Clears out your sinus with vanilla out the ass.
