Commercial Description:
During even the coldest of weather, warm up to the smooth, robust taste of our Winter’s Bourbon Cask Ale. Full of rich aromas that you find in the winter months, hints of vanilla and flavorful hops, this is a beer that is great for pouring into a large tulip glass and enjoying with friends around a fireplace.

Boo this shit sucks. Its a pitiful attempt at making a craft beer, but what else would expect from AB. Id rather drink Bud Light.

Bottle thanks to Butters. Caramel orange with a thin off white head. Light smoky aroma, bourbon, malt, and vanilla. Taste is tons of vanilla, thin woody and smoke. The vanilla is nice but unbalanced.

Pours clear brown with a red hue and a small off-whit e froth. Aroma is very heavy on the vanilla and sweet caramel malts. Very sugary and almost no hops, just way too much vanilla. Flavor starts with some mild bread like sweetness. Gains a slightly astringent bitter grainy flavoring before being hit hard being more vanilla bean through the finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not terrible as some people seem to think but way unbalanced and not too big of a presence. This is a nice beer for someone who drinks Bud but wants a season version.

Pours an opaqe golden reddish color with a thick tan foamy head. Aroma of yeast and vanilla. Taste of vanilla and is very watery. Not much going on here.

12 oz. bottle pour into shaker. Never had bourbon, so I’m not sure what to look for here. Pours dark orange/amber with a thin, fizzy head. Clear. Malty aroma, sweet. Slight bourbon and lots of vanilla. Cherry in the nose too. Very sweet. Vanilla bean flavor. Seems slightly artificial due to how strong it is. Very drinkable, but maybe too sweet. No hops character to balance it out. Light, watery mouthfeel. Flavorful and fun. Worth a try for sure, but don’t expect anything amazing here. Props to AMBEV for always trying something new.

Very disappointed in this one. You could definitely taste the vanilla afterwards but I couldnt get anything else out of it.
