Dec 9, 2006 This spiced ale pours a light red amber color from a 12oz bottle. Small to little head. Aroma is mild, some corn sweetness, some oak, some vanilla and some cherries. A light to medium bodied spiced ale. Malts are caramel and sweet with a touch of oak. Some vanilla. A touch sweet. A little thin a watery. There is a bit of oak/wood bite at the finish. The vanilla and the bourbon flavors are very subdued. There is little to no carbonation, which really doesn’t help any. Drinkable, but a little weird. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with some oak.

Mar 3, 2007 Cranberry and cedar red hue. Empty nose, with barely noticeable hints of nuts, fruitbread and spices. Up front it’s common maple and light wood flavors, weak on the palate, light without being thin, and the whole oak/bourbon/vanilla thing is only noticed right at the finish. Not terrible by any means, but mediocre and plain.

Dec 31, 2006 Nice amber color. Small, tight head. Sweet and malty with hints of bourbon and vanilla in the nose and the flavor. Liek several raters have mentioned, it’s like an alcoholic cream soda. Not bad, I guess. I’d drink it in a bar if there were no real beers.

Jan 25, 2006 (draft @ MacGregor’s - Henrietta, NY) Copper pour with a creamy and lasting tan head. Very little carbonation. Aroma was mostly vanilla with some malt in it. Very sweet. Taste was semi-sweet with a ton of vanilla flavor in it, all throughout the beer. No bourbon flavor present at all. Just vanilla, and plenty of it.

Jan 3, 2007 Well, I could say a lot about this beer, but I’ll just say this: it’s a well-made knock-off of a vanilla coca-cola.

Feb 3, 2009 Pours amber with a one finger off white head. Aroma a little vanilla, sweet malt. Flavor is caramel, vanilla, and some toasted marshmallow. Better than I expected.

Dec 13, 2006 Draft: Clear copperish color with a smaller off-white head. Virtually no aroma other than a malty sweetness and some hints of vanilla. Taste is more sweeter with vanilla and malt, hints of bitter. Thin body and not much character.
