On draught @ The Party Source. Pours a dark copper color, small off white head. Definite nose of bourbon and sugar. Taste is sweet with hints of molasses, brown sugar and peat. Finishes rather smoky and smooth like a well made bourbon. Well done BBC.

Appropriate creamy, frothy head. Better on tap from the Taproom in Louisville than the bottle, though the difference is minimal. Still a best buy as far as bourbon ales are concerned.

Spectacular beer. Pours very dark with a soft off white froth-head. Tastes slightly of molasses. Strong and filling beer. I’m not a huge fan of the smell, but the taste is warm and wonderful, the two W’s of bourbon. Pick it up if you see it because it can be hard to find.

Draft at Shelbyville Road under the name Pitched Kilt. Poured clear dark brown color with a moderate light brown creamy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Good caramel toasted malt aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Good well balanced bourbon and tart fruit malty flavor with a moderate smooth balanced finish of long duration. This is a standout brew.

Growler: Pours a deep red with a tan head. Aroma, vanilla, some spices, oak and caramel, molasses. Flavor, some roasted notes, oak, vanilla, spices, molasses and brown sugar. Pretty tasty.
