Draft @ FoBAB 2009, Chicago, IL. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Has a sweetish malty caramel and weak bourbon aroma. Sweetish malty caramel, toffee and dark fruit flavor with hints of bourbon and vanilla. Has a sweetish malty caramel and toffee finish with hints of oak.

Nitro tap. Very dark mahogany pour with a gray-ish head. Aroma of fruit and caramel. Full smooth body. Rich doppelbock taste with bourbon. Excellent.

Tap @ Bittercreek Boise: Pours a dark mahogany color with light head. The nose is so malty and smooth; pounds of plum and almond notes with more melanoidins and caramelized goodness than you can shake a candy cane at. The bourbon comes through as well to help deliver this massive amount of poly-saccharides to your palate in a pleasing manner. Giant body and lots of bourbon and vanilla notes to complement the already delicious doppelbock. Very well done.

Tap @ Stone Oakquinox. Aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels. Pours a deep reddish brown with a small beige ring. Faint bourbon notes along with raisins and other dried fruits.

Draft at Stone Oakquinox 2010. Pours a dark brown, tan head. Sweet dark malt, caramel, vanilla, notes of dark fruit, oak, and bourbon. Good, but not among my favorite.

This beer was excellent. I wasn’t a big fan of the regular bottled version of the Double Vision, with its big soy sauce taste. But this has a big bourbon taste, and the the thick creamy texture overrides all, The heat from the alcohol was present but not overwhelming. Very drinkable very delicious!

From tap at Monks Kettle. Pours dark brown with a small, dense, creamy and tan head, Nice minimal lacing on the glass. Aroma is dark malty and mild bourbon like. Dark roasted malt flavoured with a distinct chocolate note and vanilla flavours. Mild bourbon note into a dry malty finish.

On nitro at the brewery! Pours a dark brown color with a medium sized soapy tan head. Aroma is bread, smoke, caramel. Flavor is again bread, prune, caramel, light bourbon. Palate is medium to full bodied, medium carbonation, finished on the sweet side. Another great example of barrel aging, nice stuff indeed!!

Draft. Nitro. Mahogony beer with a tan nitro head. Bourbon and light nuttiness in the aroma with light cocoa. Bourbon and malt flavor with big caramel. Medium bodied. Sweet caramel lingers with bourbon and a light nuttiness.

On Nitro @ TFD Boise - Pours a beautiful dk amber with a frothy beige nitro head...aroma is massive bourbon, vanilla, wood, molassas, roasty grain...flavour is similar, sweet and rich, more oak, roasted nuts, sweet bourbon vanilla...creamy and rich in the mouth, fantastic stuff!
