3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Aroma of rye malts, bourbon and almonds. Appearance is red with bone head. Flavor is right on the nose; though the bourbon shines through more than the rye malts, imo. The finish is slightly resiny a little booze. Palate is bubbly with slight liveliness. Interesting beer; I wish I were able to pick up a little more fruit as mentioned in the description.

1 L growler shared by Tmoney99. Pours a clear deep amber color with a small fine white head. The aroma has sweet caramel, vanilla, spicy rye notes, hints of ripe fruit and of course the bourbon barrel. The flavor has toasted rye bread splashed with caramel, vanilla, the barrel notes are more mild than the nose would indicate and the finish is a bit soft. This was good, but needs a little something through the finish to take it over the top.

Pours clear pale red with a very strong 2 finger head. Aroma is fresh bourbon barrel vanilla, rye breadiness, dominated by barrel notes. Taste is a perfect blend of sour-ish bourbon notes and rustic rye breadiness; some biscuit, some ethanol. Body is medium, silky smooth, medium carbonation, long woody finish. Overall, very tasty.

Draft. Deep amber body with a short off-white head. Aroma mostly bourbon, but not enough to completely mask notes of rye, wood. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture and moderately to lively carbonation. The alcohol, though only 7%, is apparent in the finish. Bourbon taste mostly, but a taste of rye bread underlies it. Lacks complexity. Easy drinking.
