2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft @ Capones. Orange color with no head. Aroma dominated by apples, sugar, brandy, wood and yeast. Flavor starts out a bit apply and woody, but is very thin and pretty blah. Seems to have some good parts, but its a mess. Their Grand Cru was not the beer to do this with.

Draft at Capones. Wow i guess im the highest rater on this one. A golden body with a good touch of bourbon and spiced grand cru. I enjoyed it a bit.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft: Peachy golden body w/ a small white head, crazy sediment hanging throughout. Sweet almost pineapple-like aroma. Flavor has an apple & spice sort of thing going on w/ a sour finish. Didn’t really care for this one...
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught: Aroma of apples, vanilla, and herbal hops. Poured gold in color with a small, dense, white head that lasted throughout. Sparkling. Hazy. Light to medium sweet flavor. Tastes of apples, bourbon, and vanilla. Too much bourbon flavor. Medium body. Chalky texture. Average carbonation. Bourbon finish. I am so sick of bourbon aged beers.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft at Capone’s. Pours chill hazy golden with minimal head. Aroma is apricotty and apply fruit, some chardonnay-like notes, and mild spicy florals. The taste is fruity, rather dry, floral, with the profile reminding me of a watered down apple chandonnay. Unique for sure, but not something I’d drink a lot of.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at Capones. Pours a lightly hazy golden orange with no head. Aroma of apple cider, some Belgian yeast esters, vanilla and a touch of some woody notes. Flavor was much of the same. Really reminded me of a cider. Still some of the Grand Cru there. But the barrel aging really kind of did something odd.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured amber with no head. Aroma of apples and brandy. Very sweet flavor. Almost like a cider. Apples with a mellowed out brandy.

On draft at Capone’s. Pours a slightly hazy orange apricot color with no head. Aroma of apple juice, vinegar and light wood. Taste of apple juice mixed with oak wood. Watery, weak and flat.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at Capones. Poured a cloudy brown red body with no head. Aroma is apple cider, light wood. Flavor is apples, wood and an odd sourness to it. Very flat with no carbonation.
