afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 12, 2008 Clear 330ml bottle served in an English pint glass. Light amber body topped by a diminishing head. Tons of sediment floating around, I am guessing it is wood chips. Sweet vanilla wafts up from the glass as well as a good deal of bourbon. Tastes of wood, bourbon, and vanilla. Has a gritty texture from the wood particles. I am not quite sure how to rate this, I thought it tasted good, but it does not taste like beer at all. More like a shot of bourbon mixed into some seltzer water. The base beer does not come through the wood or whiskey at all. moseslikesbeer (183), conestoga, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 10, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of whiskey and vanilla and English malts. This tasted like an English bitter to me with some rum or whiskey poured in with it. Very bitter sweet palate and hard to drink quickly. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Dec 10, 2008 Bottle. Amber body with a light off white body. Lots of vanilla, light fruit, light whiskey, sweet sugar, and light oakiness. Has a vanilla cream soda feel with very light barreling. Sessionable at a price.
BillWyce (90), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 5, 2008 poured clear amber with a small white
head. Malty, earthy aroma with a slight
odd smell in back...almost skunky?? Smooth but slightly oily on the tongue.
Light taste...malt mixed with a toffee-like
sweetness and an earthy undertone. RIXbeer (102), USA Nov 28, 2008 clear glass....do I need a glass? Yeah i guess so. Pours a watery looking light amber. no head. no action. Aroma of a grolsch like lager and oak. Hint of whiskey.Nice smooth oaky flavor but it still reminds me of a german/european lager. The whiskey is very present and surprisingly smooth. Nice smoothness and a light [,lager like] flavor. The ABV will sneak right up on you but this beer, although very easy to drink isn’t a beer I want to keep drinking.
yespr (11645), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 28, 2008 33 cL clear bottle. Pours almost clear and golden yellow to orange with a small yet dense and off-white head. Dry malty and slight grassy hoppy aroma. Flavour is breadish malty, light sweet and with a mild roasted note. Caramelish too. Light bitterness showing through. Bitter and breadish malty in the finish. bierkoning (5987), La Tropica, Netherlands Nov 28, 2008 White bottle. Light amber color. Butterscotch in the aroma. malty sweetish, buttery , alightly oaky flavor. Hints of citrus. Buttery aftertaste. Sticky mouthfeel. The oak character could be a bit more pronounced. SeanMacGC (233), Dublin, Ireland Nov 27, 2008 Bottle, 33cl. Pours an ochre-bronze, with quickly disappearing thin head. Honey, citrus, malt and toffee on the nose, and quite oakey on the palate. Low carbonation, nicely blended alcohol in the mouthfeel, with sour tail. Unusual, but quite decent.
