Tasted at GABF 2008. Hazy gold pour. Bourbon oak nose with some vanilla. Flavor is wood, vanilla, bourbon with some citrus near the finish.

(Draught) Pours a hazy golden amber body with a medium beige head. Aroma of dried apricots, caramel, toffee, and vanilla. Flavor of hops (earthy, herbal, grassy, orange), tea leaves, and caramel malt with a bitter finish.

GABF 2008. Hazy brassy golden. Heavy vanilla oak bourbon aroma. Woody vanilla buttery bourbon flavour up front, fruity citrus oil hopped-up finish. Very sweet. I think a lot of the bourbon character leeched out of the barrels and into this beer. I’m not sure how well this marriage works for me. Parksy says ’’it’s like Innis & Gunn on steroids!’’.
