Draught @ The Bier Stube, Moline, IL. Pours a nice amber color. Aromas of vanilla, fruit, and a hint of spice. Flavor is sweet, mellow. I expected some sort of bourbon or wood flavor. But there wasn’t any. Great A-B product.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of DarkElf. If I didn’t know it was an AB product, I wouldn’t have recognized it as such. Pours dark copper color with a large white head. Aroma is heavy with the spices, caramel malts and barrel notes, a little grassy and grainy as well. Flavor is initially sweet, with lots of spice, some vanilla and an occasional odd bitter floral note. Medium body and gentle carbonation. Not bad.

Thin head which dissipates quickly. Light carbonation. Nice cookie dough aroma with some caramel and vanilla. Color is a dark mahagony brown. Flavor is big time vanilla and cream soda. Totally synthetic tasting. Dry and wretched. Not sure if I can finish this bottle. Finishes greasy and grassy (rotten grassy). Not a brew that I would ever try again.

Pours clear ruby-orange into a shaker. Head quickly dissipates to nothing. Vanilla aromas. Crisp and dry with vanilla; very little bourbon or oak.

Bottle. Dark amber body with a thick ring of bubbles and a thin film of bubbles. Nose-dusty, vanilla, light wood and bourbon. Taste-cherry, light vanilla, marshmallow, nutmeg, macroness, very light bourbon, slightly corny sweet. Not as bad as I was anticipating.

Bottle from Greenwood liquors in Bowling Green, KY. The curiosity go tthe best of me. Pours deep translucent cherry brown, with dissapating off white head. Faint aroma of vanilla. Do you like vanilla ice cream? Do you like a cheap macro ale? Then you will like this beer. There is no oak or hop balance.

it looked nice and it smelled nice but the taste was kind of artificial for what its worth. the the first sip reminded me of A&W cream soda, and while its works for soda pop, its quite unpleasant for a winter beer of this caliber. other taste of spices were appearant yet dissatisfying. still drinkable enough to give a try

Rich copper, very thin head. Nose is roasty malt, cherries, almost light flemish red notes. Flavor is meladonins, cherries, fruit, light bourbon. Really sweet cherry/maraschino notes. Very artificially sweet. Toffee, cocoa & marshmallow comes through as it warms.
