Dec 29, 2007 Very flavorful aroma-cork, malt, oak and alcohol. Color is a deep brown purple with minimal head. Complex amount of flavors-it starts out with grape and wood with strong maltiness then mellowed by smooth hops appearans

Oct 20, 2007 Appearance: Pours a murky, dark brown body with a teeny, tiny tan-colored head.
Smell: Wonderfully sweet-smelling aroma of bourbon and all of its compulsory, accompanying notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and charry oak.
Taste: Hugely sweet, with flavors of maple syrup, caramel, vanilla, and brown sugar. Hint of scorched oak. Nothing in the way of hop flavors or bitterness. It’s as if the barrel aging knocked them entirely out of the equation. The alcohol, though noticeable, remains at a very sensible level. Finishes sweet, leaving this a candy-coated treat from beginning to end.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Low carbonation. Very lush, smooth mouthfeel, but never syrupy.
Drinkability: One of those rare beer treats where deliciousness has just taken steroids and is rampaging out of control all over my mouth.

Oct 26, 2007 Poured a verydark amber-ruby color with an off-white head. Whiskey and dark fruits rest on top of sweet malt. Great balance. Fruity sweet malt. Very smooth and nice warmth. Full body.

Jan 4, 2008 Pours a very murky dark brown, through which light does not penetrate, with only the barest collar of foam at the endges of the glass. Aroma is huge vanilla and oak, followed by dark malts and some whisky notes. Very complex. Flavor is extremely sweet upfront, big dark malts, dark fruits (figs, dried plums and raisins), and notes of whisky. Any traces of hops have long since disappeared. Alcohol warms all the way down. Big and full bodied, aftertaste is well balanced and fades fairly quickly.
