Tap @ Glacier. Deep ruby with an off white head. Aroma of toffee, dark fruit, bourbon and oak. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, fruity bourbon with lots of oak and some alcohol heat. Medium body with mild carbonation and a soft, smooth mouth feel. Another nice BA beer from Glacier, the sweetness and booziness come together great.

Snifter at brewhouse. Good aroma, Trace is strong. Sweet streak. Vanilla/ oak. Clean ruby brown color. No head or lace. Sweet flavor. Medium.body, oily creamy mouthfeel. Dry finish. Very nice, especially if you like buffalo trace. Flavor a tad better than aroma imo.

This might be an alias of the Buffalo Trace version, if the only difference is the barrel. Admins, you make the call! Draft at the source. Aroma of vanilla, caramel, slight booze. Taste is smooth creme brullee. Decent.

Seems to be different from the regular eisbock, which is 10% abv and not barrel aged. Draft at the source. Hazy dark brown color, small white edge head. Aroma of vanilla and whiskey. Taste is chocolate covered caramel bonbons. Best tasting beer of the night.
