10% version. Their regular ale,aged for a while in te Bourbon casks. The result is smooth but it is corn and us Canucks are not as awesome fans on this taste. Some decent whitish head. Bourbon aroma and it is strong. Interesting enhancement for the style.

This is one of my favorite Allagash brews. Smooth sweet oak and vanilla. Lots of bourbon but the malts and hints of bitter mask some of the alcohol. Some bready body with hints of spices as well.

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a golden color. Smell of oak and bourbon very strong. Flavors of oak and vanilla. A good amount of yeast flavor too. Not too bad!

Bomber, bottled 7/2005 and cellared since 10/2005. Poured a translucent honey orange with just a tiny bit of head. Aromas of whiskey, caramel, some heavy bread notes. Mouthfeel is heavy, with yeast and whiskey coming out in the forefront.

Pours clear orange / amber with a patchy off-white head. The aroma is creamy with spice and a nice blend of tripel malt and bourbon barrel aging. There is also vanilla and significant oak from the barrel aging. Medium smooth body that is slick with mildly sharp carbonation. The flavor starts smooth with lots of vanilla, oak, some bourbon, phenolic spice and some lush tripel malt. The finish has more tripel malt, but the sweetness is offset by the dryness of oak, lots of spice and some abv, but it is mild tasting considering it is 11%. This is quite well done.

January 2007 vintage. Pours hazy golden orange with minimal white head. The smell of boubon dominates. There is also a strong aroma of bready Belgian yeast. Flavors of bourbon, yeast, vanilla and oak. There is definately a tripel hinding somewhere underneath all that bourbon. Medium body with lively carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. It’s a good beer, but the bourbon is just too overpowering for my tastes.
