Nov 28, 2006 I don’t care what anyone says, I think this stuff is good. Doesn’t taste like beer - tastes like candy. Real sugary with malty body and absolutely no hops. I put flavor before style guidelines or anything else and I really like this beer. Strong strong vanilla taste with sweet malt at the front. Look forward to buying this again. Just think candy not beer when drinking it and it is really enjoyable.

Dec 7, 2008 Amber red in color with an orangish head. Slight earthy smell. Hoppy taste with a hint of vanilla in the aftertaste. I thought there was a nutmeg taste to it as well. I was very impressed with this beer. You gotta love winter brews.

Caramel smell with a hint of vanilla. You could definitely taste the vanilla in this brew. Dark copper in color with little to no head. Not a bad brew. I have not had a winter brew that I have not liked.

Dec 31, 2006 Let me start by saying that this is most likely the sweetest beer I’ve ever had in my life. It’s pure sugar. But for some reason, I love it. Perhaps it’s my ability to look past the Anheuser-Busch label and just enjoy the candy goodness. Maybe I’m alone, but I can’t get enough of this beer, much like Jack’s Pumpkin Spice.

Jan 23, 2007 The only other burbon aged ale I have had was from Goose Island. For a major maker of beer AB seems to have made a great beer. It is on tap at the LONE STAR in Gurnee. Bartender said it was for sale at Cardinal Liquors down the road, but they didn’t have any.

Dec 23, 2005 Excellent rich hearty beer. Surprised a big company made this. Taste imbued all over the place, without tasting too hoppy or heavy. Well done. Lindy’s, on tap, Foggy Bottom, Washington DC.

Mar 11, 2006 Tastes like it came from a makers mark barrel. great taste. Vanilla rears its head through bourbonesque notes.

Jan 6, 2006 I loved this beer, which is hard for me to say because its an Anheuser Busc product. On tap at Durango’s Steak House in Cocoa Beach, FL. It was a nice amber color with a small, quickly diminishing head. Notes of caramel and vanilla in the aroma and flavor as well, it finished rather sweet. Border line too sweet, but it was just right. It left me wanting more. The bourbon flavor was just great, it was VERY enjoyable. I sure hope this one gets in the main stream!!
