| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Mar 28, 2009 From a bottle poured brown with a good amount of head. Flavor and aroma of too sweet vanilla, and a bad lingering finish. ehhdayton (1113), USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 2, 2008 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. Earlier Rating: 11/1/2006 Total Score: 2.8 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. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 26, 2008 Not much nose. Expected some bourbon... but nothing. Some chocolate... but it’s so thin it kinda sucks. ditmier (1110), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 29, 2008 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... kenb (1100), Oregon, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 11/20 | Jan 19, 2007 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. alexsdad06 (1099), Ohio, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Nov 24, 2007 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. 00cobraR (1098), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Apr 5, 2007 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.
