Tap @ Publick House, Brookline, MA. Woody and vanilla notes in the aroma. This beer was very balanced when cold, but as it warmed up it began to taste almost exclusively like bourbon. Definitely one of the most unique brews I’ve ever had.

Bottled at Københavnske Øldage. (11%) Poured a bit unclear, golden-orange, with a white head. Quite sweet nose, with a decent amount of spices, especially coriander. The flavor is sweet and fruity, with alcohol and spices. Full body and a long spiced finish. The beer felt a little bit brutal, but it is a nice beer. (070511)

On tap at Capone’s. Clear amber color. Oaky bourbon and white wine with apricots and lemons. Really warm. Alcoholic finish.

Draft @ Capones. Light golden color with a light fizzy head. Aroma of grapes, fresh oranges, and sugar. Flavor is sugary sweet with some fresh grapes, yeast, bready malts, and some alcohol. Seems like this one is a bit on the young side, but I’m happy to have tried it on draft so I can save my 2006 bottle. Nice Sipper!

On tap at TDR in Springhouse, PA. Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of bourbon (not overpowering), vanilla, pears, grapes, and just all around fruity. Tastes of the same with a medium alcohol burn in the finish. I liked the way the barrel aging was done.

Bourbon aroma was way up front, bullying out almost everything in it’s path. Long lasting, almost astrigent finish.
