On tap at Ortino’s Pizzeria... Appears a transparent dark amber with a small off white head that fades into a mild cap. Solid streams of carbonation pump up to the top. Smell is of light oak, toffee, caramel, nuts, and brown sugar. Taste is of oak, very mild bourbon-esque vanilla, and a light smokey flavor. Mouthfeel is chewy, sugary, toffee sweet up front with gently hopping that lingers on the middle of the tongue.

bottle, pours light amber with a thin to non existant off white head. Aroma is strong vanilla and sweet brown sugar. Sweet flavors almost like vanilla ice cream with little else going on. The sweetness tastes very artificial. Not a fan.

I was surprised by this. It was actually fairly decent. What makes it is the nice vanilla aftertaste. the initial taste is a sweet the followed by the vanilla. Body is a too thin, but overall okay.

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.

Always a bit too sweet, it has some nice things happening though. The bourbon comes through and so does the vanilla, the latter overpowering the entire flavor. A little too sticky sweet. Smells nice, sort of like bourbon and vanilla. Palate is a little bit watery. A guy at a beer store told me he thought it tasted like when you leave a jack and coke out overnight and the ice melts.... that is not completely off base.

Tap. Pours fairly brown. Flavors at times have an okay vanilla tone to it. Mostly oak aged rice water. Mouth is a little sticky.
