Draught. WTF!!!! I can’t believe I fell for the crafty name without further inquiry. OK A-B, you got me. Poured clear copper with no head. Aroma of sweet caramel and vanilla, oak chips, and cool whip. Sweet vanilla-toffee flavor with maybe some almond. Despite the intriguing flavor profile, everything seems artificial. As properly stated below, more like cream soda than beer. Thin and watery texture doesn’t help. Coming to a TGIF near you.....

Draft at Manny Brown in Newtown, Pa. Not to bad. Slight vanilla taste but that was about it.

I’m a sucker for flavored beers. I don’t know why. And this one is another one of those flavored beers. From my mug, I can smell an amount of vanilla, and a very slight yeasty smell that may be similar to yeasts that produces strong citrus flavors. In tasting this, the citrus flavor comes out stronger than the vanilla. But these two flavors overpower the hint a hint of malt. There is no hop in the taste at all. The beer is a beautiful red color, with a very slight head of white foam. It’s not a bad beer, and drinkable up to about two bottles. But the strong, sweet vanilla taste is what limits the amount I could drink in a sitting

On tap. Pours a medium brown color with a small off white head. Aroma of vanilla extract and smoked wood. Taste is funky and artificial. Not good!

Yeah, I agree, it tastes like cream soda and is very strange. On tap at Ron’s Landmark We Only Serve Anheuser Garbage Inn in Netcong, NJ.

I had this on the brewery tour yesterday. It wasn’t ’bad’, it just wasn’t a beer. It tasted more like a cream-soda a microbrewery would make. Taste of vanilla. That’s about it. Sweeet finish. You can taste the bourbon if your looking for it.
