A decent offering, well worth the money and i’d possibly get it again. Just didn’t knock my socks off. Drinking barrel aged beers in excondido is just a bad idea, drinking them by the growler is even worse. seriously nate, stop trading for growlers. Good beer, barrel wasnt overpowering, base beer was a little thin and bland. 6oz is enough.

Had this in tap at Busy Bee, Raleigh-Apr2010. I didn’t get much bourbon from this and tbh it would have been welcomed for better balance. This beer was not as expected. It was cloyingly sweet. Good nose. Strong vanilla, very strong caramelized notes give way to noticeable alcohol on the back end.

found some old notes, served on tap. Dark brown color, can’t see through the liquid but it’s red up to the light, small head. Lots of dark fruits and oak to smell, rich roasty malts, some cola. Rich and flavorful taste of roasty malt, oak, vanilla. slightly sweet. lots of wood in the taste. Mouthfeel is super smooth with moderate carbonation. Overall it’s all about the wood, rich and heavy flavor.

Clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, light roasted malt and caramel. Flavor is quite sweet and light bitter. Sweet and roasted bitter finish. Poured by Garrett Oliver at the Copenhagen Beer Festival 2010. 070510

On tap at the blind tiger. Pours a nice mahogany brown with a decent head. Not much on the nose. Little bit of smoke and fat resembling deep fried aromas. Not liking the nose. Getting past that to the taste, the beer picks up remarkably. Sour cherries and brandy/bourbon come through very nicely. Mouth feel is a little watery. All in all a very interesting beer

Draft. Pours mahogany brown with a thin beige head. Sweet nutty and fruity aroma with toasted malts and a light bourbon hint. The flavor has sweet chestnut, dark fruits, chocolate, toast and light bourbon sweetness. Really good.

Draft at the gate.dark black. Fruity, sourish taste. Almost like a quad. Really deliiciois and flavorful

The beer is brown in color, light tan head, nothing special. The aroma and taste as you would expect are very nutty. The nut on the aroma is ok, but it overwhelms the taste and makes it just all about it. The feel and drinkability are ok, but nothing special

On tap at Ebenezer’s Pours out a dark brown almost black topped with a small tan head. Aroma was sweet, roast malts, vanilla, caramel, pit fruit, and some wood. Taste was much as the aroma with the sweetness leading the way caramel, and vanilla.

Reviewed from notes. Pours dark brown win a somewhat thin tan head. Nose brings a good amount of depth with bourbon, roast, vanilla, and chocolate. He taste features bourbon and some oak along with roasted mmalt and chocolate. Hints of vanilla and booze. Good body with a nice boozy touch. Drinks quite well; really executed this concept quite nicely. Serving type: growler Reviewed on: 10-19-2010

(Sample Date: 5/4/2010 Source:Capital Ale House - Downtown) Chocolate and coffee with vanilla and wood in aroma. Black with a tan head. Flavor follows aroma with a nice play between bourbon vanilla and maybe some resiny hops. Finish is medium sweet with whiskey and vanilla residual.
