4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Received in trade from ajzy, thanks for the opportunity!
Pours a solid dark brown/black with a tightly bubbled off white head that slowly recedes to a cap on top. This smells incredible, there’s so much going on here! Dark and burnt sugars, dried prune, raisins, vanilla, sweet bourbon, nutmeg, clove, and a hint of ethanol. The flavor follows the aroma quite well. Sweet and malty with darker sugars and light dried fruit up front. Vanilla with hints of wood and sweet bourbon mixed with some spices and a fair amount of alcohol that is present, but not harsh. Medium to thick body with a light to moderate level of carbonation and a sweet almost syrupy mouthfeel. Weizenbock is probably a stretch for this beer, it more Belgian dark strong imho. Great brew anyhow, I really enjoyed it. It kind of reminds me of some Bruery stuff, only it’s better.

Brown cloudy pour with some white head and lacing. Big bourbon, caramel nose on this one. Some malt character, some dark fruits then again with the big bourbon. Some heat on the finish, but it works well with everything!

Bomber from PUB’N resources. Pours thick and turbid dark brown with 1-finger tan head. Nose is heavy oak, vanilla, pruney fruit, nuts, cacao. Tastes oaky, pretty rich for an oak-aged beer, with notes of almond, prune, vanilla, cacao, and peaty. Pretty complex and very enjoyable.

This was a sample from a bottle at Dark Large Day in Munster, Indiana Poured brown with a tan head. Nose of roasted malts, bourbon and vanilla. Full body. Rich creamy mouthfeel. Flavor of oak shows up. Finish shows some alcohol but overall well balanced. Really good beer.

Sweet aroma with a bit of bourbon,nice
Color is a very dark amber almost brown a bit cloudy.
Taste of figs/prunes brown sugar and some bourbon, nice balance. Can't taste the alcohol
Creamy and smooth with low carbonation.
Great beer! Easy drinker well balanced, not to sweet and not over the top bourbon, if you like central waters bourbon aged barley wine you'll like this, I'll be getting more!

Bottle... This beer rocks!… Murky brown ale with a small, fizzy, tan head. Caramel, bourbon, vanilla and toasted oak are the olfactory highlights. Full bodied and velvety with modest carbonation. Although well-balanced and not at all too sweet, the flavor is big-time malty - caramel, toffee and bourbon with a light hint of chocolate. Lengthy, warming finish that leaves me with an aftertaste of Werther’s Original Caramel. Absolutely delicious and world class all the way! Big-time thanks to ctipping for generously providing this bottle!

22 oz bomber shared by GTTED. The pour is a hazed brown golden, with a thin wispy off white head. The aroma is brown sugar and along with caramelized malt. The taste is big full brown sugar, additional blast of cane sugar, a touch of clove herbal, and some more yeast in the long finish. The palate is heavy to medium bodied, soft foamy carbonation, and a sweet finish. Thanks for sharing this one Ted.
