AskForJenny (627), Ontario, New York, USA Mar 24, 2008 750ml - Light gold, fizzy appearance, fleetign head, Cocoa Puffs and bourbon on nose. Creamy palate with strong cocoanut on end. Nice lacing throughout. jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 20, 2008 Draft at Capones. Hazy orange body with thin head. Aroma is light citrus oranges, and yeast. Flavor has a crisp orange feel to it, lightly sweet, light wood and alcohol burn and a little earthy. Good stuff. jehoey (766), Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 16, 2008 2005 vintage: Aroma is stunning. lots of bourbon, wood, and vanilla. Beer poured with good bit of haze and looked slightly yellow and built a rather small 1 finger head. Flavor was just as good as the aroma. Vanilla is the lead characteristic followed by wood, some toast, and finishing with that satisfaction of taking a sip of bourbon that just sits on the back of your throat. Excellent brew. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Mar 15, 2008 Great beer. Very expensive($18 per bottle). Beer is aged in Bourbon Barrels and you can certainly taste a slight hint of bourbon. Pretty much pours a light amber color and not a huge head. Fruity, well balanced. Slight hop finish is nice. Enjoyable. Juancho (225), Clearwater Beach, Georgia, USA Mar 15, 2008 Good solid Belgian. Slightly more complex than their straight up Tripel. It is well balanced, less sweet and spicy than most tripels which is a nice thing.

Appearance: Pours a clear blonde body with a small, white head.
Smell: Restrained aroma of bourbon mixed with white wine and candy.
Taste: Bourbon-influenced, semi-sweet pale malt flavor and notes of vanilla, wood. Dash of pinot grigio. Lemon sorbet fruitiness and light spice in back of the bourbon. Hint of honeysuckle. There’s plenty of candi sweetness on this ride, but it still manages to finish somewhat dry.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied bolstered by a creamy mouthfeel. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s pretty good. Go on, give it a try. What harm could it do? Jvittorio4187 (255), Boardman, Ohio, USA Mar 13, 2008 Bottle shared with Mike: Pours a hazy orange with white head. Nose is sweet with dates and plums. Taste is stong with lots of fruit then fades to bourbon. Finish is nice with oak and boubon with slight spice. Thanks Mike! pintsize (1042), Austin, Texas, USA Mar 11, 2008 3-2-08 bottle (2 years aged) shared at tasting
Cloudy yellow that looks slightly orange with no real head. Smells just like pine sol and I can’t seem to get past that smell. The flavor is lemony, woodsy, and actually somewhat pine sol like. Alcohol is quite present in the flavor. Thick mouthfeel but it just makes this beer seem heavy and difficult to swallow. Not a huge fan of the style and a little too "woodsy" for me.
