From bottle. Dark redish brown with no head. A bit of an alcohol wiff. Big bourbon taste. Also sweet syrup and rather flat.

MBG winterfest. Hazy brown with minimal head, strange because plastic cups almost always form head regardless. Aroma so dominated by bourbon I am afraid to drink it. Flavor you guessed it completely dominated by bourbon. Really nothing else detectable in this beer.

Tap at Michigan beer fest 06. Cloudy hazel body with a slight white head. Storng whickey aroma, quite overpowering, but in the cold tent it was definatley an inviting warm smell. sweet caramel and scotch flavours. Alsomost syrupy, some earthy malt flavour present. Strong alcohol flavour with a slight burn. Good

draught. pours a murky brown-mahogany with no head. the aroma is earthy and has a whole whack of bourbon in it, along with cherries and grapes. very boozy and sweet flavour that I can’t say I care for too much but there are also dark chocolate and caramel notes. smooth body but the bourbon is way overdone in this. it’s ironic that they gave me such a large sample...if only that had been for the IIPA.
