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.

Same as a the Michelob Vanilla Oak. Has that sweet cotton candy, sugar cookie. graham cracker maltiness. Tastes artificial, extracted and micro filtered wood chips.

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

Pours dark amber with a white head. Has very little aroma with only a hint of vanilla. Flavors of bourbon and vanilla dominate but almost no malt is apparent. Slight bitterness at the finish.

Pour a clear amber with an off white head. The aroma is loaded with vanilla notes and slight oakiness. The flavor is pretty much one dimensional with vanilla. There is a slight hint of the oak. Hop or malt flavor is undetectable and there is a slight graininess. Finish has a carbonated touch.

Not much nose. Expected some bourbon... but nothing. Some chocolate... but it’s so thin it kinda sucks.

Draught @ Kahootz - Pours amber with a small white head, aroma is dominated by sweet vanilla cream...flavour is like two parts Amberbock to one part cream soda extract...not entirely unpleasant, but much sweeter than I would normally drink, and I didn’t get any oak...

12 oz bottle via goldtwins (thanks!). Pours a clear dark amber with a large beige head. Nose is malty with some vanila and a hint of wood. Taste is somewhat sweet...some vanilla, some toasted grains, some mellow earthy hops. Thin mouthfeel, watery light bodied, high carbonation.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a crystal clear copper color with a small white head that is gone before the first sip. The aroma what little there is is sweet malt and vanilla. The flavor is sweet malt and vanilla and very little of anything else. No roasted malt, no oak, no bourbon. Light and thin. A bit disappointing, but not unexpected from AB.

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.
