Aug 27, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Medium copper pour with 1-finger off-white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of oaky, bourbony caramel malt, some tannins, and some British hops. Tastes scotchy, oaky bourbony, with decent caramel malt, some tannins, and hops. Medium palate heft that seems to water out a bit as it warms. Average at best.

Aug 26, 2007 8/25/07 Sweet, tangy. Reddish amber out of a Riesling glass. Crisp, with a almost berry or citrus light smell to it. I don’t taste the oak. Not much mouth, but good none the less. Went great with cheap pretzels I had, superbly in fact. Sourish towards the end buy overall I enjoyed this beer.

Aug 23, 2007 Sweet entry and finish. Slightly peaty/smoky and a tad on the sour side too. Hadn’t noticed that with this beer before, so this might be skunked. It looks good in the clear bottle though. Thin body, yes and mouthfeel leaves a lot to be desired. I can imagine something like this would really come alive if served directly from the barrel.

Aug 22, 2007 12oz bottle from LCBO in Ontario. Pours a light straw with some decent lacing. Aroma is faint, but does have a hint of whiskey to it. The taste has more than a hint of the whiskey, although it is still a bit light overall. It does go down quite nicely.

Aug 8, 2007 smell is wonderful- vanilla, oak, sherry. taste equals the smell, the subtleness of vanilla and sherry present but not overpowering. beer characteristics don’t shine here- the undertones seem to be the flavors that are presented (again, not overpowering though.) Nice sipping beer, very mellow, almost like sipping a cognac. high alcohol is hidden. mouthfeel is pretty light."

Aug 1, 2007 I agree with the rest of the reviews...a good beer that doesn’t live up to a great promise.
