Winters Bourbon Cask Ale

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Draft Pours a dark amber with an off white head. Has a nice aroma which is mostly vanilla and some carmels. Taste also had a vanilla hint to it. Not a bad beer it just takes some getting used to.

This beer pours a dark ruby red color with a very minimal off-white head. The aroma contained hints of caramel, vanilla and a slight hint of flowery hops. The flavors were of caramel malt, a touch of vanilla and sweet berries, with a just a touch of hoppiness. The body, though, was very lacking. It was almost like drinking water. There seemed to be no carbonation or texture at all. The finish was a little sour, with more tones of vanilla and caramel malt.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear dark amber color with a one finger off white head. The aroma was caramel malt and a bit of vanilla. The flavor was caramel malt with a little bit of hops. After the beer got warm, the vanilla appeared in the flavor.

Weak, slightly spicy aroma. The appearance is very appalling; the use of a foaming agent is evident in the massive bubbles that form on the side of the glass. Little to no head after the coarse, fake foam dies down. Surprisingly deep nose with a nice spiciness to complement the malt profile. Unfortunately, the AB chemicals show up on the finish as it grinds against the palate with an extreme metallic feeling. Nice try, AB, with attempting a rich tasting beer, but your macro-brewing ways are clearly evident in this sub-par beer. This is clearly a brew designed by a sophisticated brewer, but has also clearly skipped the steps required to make a solid brew. Maybe if they spend some more time on this one, they would have something going on.

Malty aroma with a light amount of sweet tangy alcohol. Clear dark orange color with a small white head. Sweet beginning with a very string vanilla middle fading in the finish.

Not a fan of the maker of the beer but it was actually pretty tasty. Love the Vanilla flavor but after a few it gets kinda old.

Im supposed to not like this beer because its from a Mega-Brewery.Well kiss my ass, I like it. Its sweet but not to rich. Its got just a touch of vanilla and bit of zestiness and an amazing hops and sweet malt aroma.
