Jun 19, 2008 Remaining amount of this year’s winter warmer on cask, enjoyed at the Smokehouse. Jack Daniels barrel aged. Lots of barley in there, served appropriately at room temperature. Brandy colour with a whisp of head. Corn bourbon aroma. Sourish. One case where barrel aged did not work for a beer.

Dec 29, 2007 Went out with Rick and Robert for a night of unbridled debauchery last night. I started with this from the Firkin. Floral nose of cologne, dried fruit, and cherries. The brew is a cloudy walnut with amber highlights and a minimal head. Wow! The brew is sweet and tangy with an abundance of acidity and spice. The finish is very fruity with nice depth. The full body is syrupy and flat. The finish is slightly cloying with a peppery bite from the yeast. No listing here on the ABV but this one packs a fuckin wallop!

Aug 28, 2007 On tap at barleys smokehouse. Pours a brown color with hardly a beige colored head. Aroma is oak, whiskey, caramel, alcohol, ginger. Flavor is oak, vanilla, bourbon, ginger, cinnamon, caramel, toffee. Palate is full bodied, mild carbonation, finishes boozey and sweet. I really enjoyed this. Velvety smooth, decent balance, perhaps a little hot but not overwhelming, great complex mix of flavors.

Smelled like ginger! Taste was sooooo strange. Cinnamon, ginger, sweet malts, Lots of alcohol that wasnt hidden too well. I really didnt like the flavors in this one.
