[Bottle] Clear amber with little head. Aroma is spicy with just a hint of alcohol. Flavor is very busy. A lot of spice, some malt, a hint of vanilla. Slightly warm finish. Overall it’s a very confused beer with some potential, if only it could sort out what it wants to be.

This beer pours a clear amber color with a thin head that fades rather quick. The aroma is subtle and kind of malty with some hints of hops but nothing strong. the flavor is kind of sweet and full of caramel malt and toffee. There is some good carbonation and for a cask ale it is not that bad. there are much better spice herb beers out there but this one is surprisingly good.

Tap. Pours fairly brown. Flavors at times have an okay vanilla tone to it. Mostly oak aged rice water. Mouth is a little sticky.

Bottle. Sweet caramel aroma. Reddish amber body, small head. Flavor is sweet, artificial, caramel apples and vanilla. Quite repulsive.

Not too bad for an AB product. I actually liked this one. Well on tap that is. This BBQ joint up the street had this on tap and I tried it out compared to the bottle. Much smoother and honestly, I wouldn’t have known it was an AB product if I didn’t work at a liquor store. I would have thought it was a Sam Adam’s product. Decent brown color, with a smooth malt flavor.

From a bottle poured brown with a good amount of head. Flavor and aroma of too sweet vanilla, and a bad lingering finish.

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.

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.
