Winters Bourbon Cask Ale

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
St. Louis, Missouri USA

I feel this is one of the greatest Bud brew ever. It is served with a nice 1/2 to inch head. The taste is complex, in my palate and seeps into your soul. It warms you to the subtle bourbon tastes and rewards with no bitter, but quite a rewarding after taste. people complain about an artificial vanilla and bourbon taste, I don’t find that subtle taste as distracting. Maybe the bottles are different from taps, but I fond this brew high on my list with some is the Belgians (for they opulence in taste) in this unique class!

Bouteille de 12 oz achetée chez Beverage Warehouse (Winooski, VT). Arôme: Odeur de vanille avec une pointe de caramel. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée avec une très faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col rose crémeux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de vanille et de caramel fruité et une pointe chocolatée. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Présence de vanille en arrière goût. Probablement le meilleur produit d’Anheuser-Busch que j’ai goûté à ce jour. (Rating #2915)

This migth be the best ’Bud’ beer I’ve ever had. It was very smooth with low carbonation. It definately had a strong vanila taste. I normally dislike everything ’Bud’ or principle alone, but beer I liked.

Beer pours a spare diminishing head, not much lacing, clear body and amber color . A light toffee malt, lightly hoped, a hint of raisin ,plum, cask wood fantastic brew

I was hoping for better from AB, but that in itself is problematic most of the time. Surprisingly light bodied for a 6% ABV. Very sweet candy like taste, definitely get the vanilla, maybe a bit of nutty/roasty soy sauce flavor. Light after taste adding to the beers drink-ability. "Creating a better beer" than Keystone Light. Yes, they have accomplished this.

It’s got a really sweet taste and aroma. It’s actually too sweet to really enjoy. The aroma and taste has vanilla and caramel notes. The color is light dark brown with a light white foam head.

Bottle from Parti-Pak Liquors (Indianapolis, IN). Pours a dark brown with reddish highlights and one finger white head that settles quickly. Aroma is sweet and malty with hints of bourbon, light funk, caramel, toffee. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of caramel, toffee, overripe plums, raisins. Medium body with a sweet finish.

12 oz. bottle served in a shaker pint. Poured a clear amber with a finger of off white head. Lots of vanilla in the aroma along with some burnt sugar. Light to medium bodied. More vanilla in the flavor, but more of an artificial flavor, not vanilla from barrel aging. A slight hop bite in the finish. Not much going on here. Label say aged "on" barrels not in.
