Draft. Pours amber orange with an off white head. Sweet malty and bourbony aroma. The flavor has big bourbon sweetness, sweet toffee, and light hops. The bourbon is a bit too up front, but it’s still good.

Tap at Rattle. Pours hazy brown/amber with some off white head. Strong aroma with caramel, dark fruit, cherry, and a bit of hoppiness. Full bodied and flavorful, malt sweetness with some bourbon flavor. Bitter finish. Pretty solid but not outstanding.

This is like its non bb aged version, but the bourbon definitely dominates. The aroma is sweet fruit, bourbon. The flavor is bourbon, caramel, bread. Good. In the flavor, the bourbon doesn’t drown out the beer. The finish is mostly a bourbon booze warming. Enjoyable.

Draft at rattle with Andrew, Streets, and Kyle. Pours a deep brownish body. Aroma is sweet wood and Bourbon, maple and molasses. Mouthfeel is smooth medium textured with notes of Bourbon, wood, caramel malts.
