Rather dull for the style, and you know that corny bourbon smell just doesn’t do it for me. MIBRomeo (1962), Wisconsin, USA Oct 3, 2005 A cloudy yellow brown color small tan head. Smells of bourbon sweet carmel malt and maple syrup w/ alcohol raw. Palate is rich and creamy. Syruppy flavor carmel and an artificially malty taste. Finishes with a light hop and lingers a toffee and butter taste.
