3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 stephen louis (162) - Victoria, - FEB 19, 2006
Nice looking bottle and label, seems strange to put it in clear glass bottle.I hope it is not sun-struck.
Pours Amber, halcyon, and unclouded. Small ,dense ivory coloured head.
The nose is both sweet and oakish, a back ground of hops and banana and citrus, sort of a weird combo but it works.
Taste is agreeable and mellow, almost cream like in texture on first sip.Caramel, vanilla and yes, oak, come through strongest followed by the carbonation and a earthy bitter grass/lemon taste.the transition back to unctuous is not that smooth, but the finish is thick on the tongue and very candy like.
This is a good beer, worth our time to find and try.

Vanilla, caramel, honey and a slight hint of whisky. Quite superb beer with a long aftertaste.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Scrapersnbeer (461) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - MAY 24, 2012
Heavy dose of vanilla, which reminds you right away that this is a beer from the land of whiskey. Light copper tone of an IPA. Woody, smokey and vanilla, reminiscent of spiced rum. Body is pretty light in spite of the syrupy feel of the beer. Heavier versions of this product are far better; this one’s body doesn’t balance with its bite.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 burg326 (1113) - Florida, USA - MAY 23, 2012
12 ounce bottle that poured a light yellow color, aromas of oak, and rancid cream soda. Flavor is the same, slammed the beer so I wouldn’t have to drink it over time. This was mostly a horrible cream soda that went bad.

A really nice beer with a delicious taste of oak and a great golden color. Great bottle.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 VanDer1584 (24) - Bavaria, GERMANY - MAY 21, 2012
I must admit this is something different. That’s for sure. Still, I don’t find it very nice. If you like vanilla flavours in drinks with already a fruity character and if you enjoy whiskey.. Probably you’ll like this. Light/medium body, nice head that dissappears quickly. Not my kind of beer, yet I admit it’s different from others. Prost!

A pretty nice flavor of cask and well rounded. Light amber in color with a white head.

330ml bottle. Small head with low retention. Clear orange colour. Hopy-grassy-oak barrel nose. Sweet taste, very sweet, with vanilla, caramel and toffee. Doubt I’ll want to try it again.

A clear golden colored beer, with a small foamy white head. The aroma of hops with fruits like citrus and orange. The taste of sweet fruits, bitter hops and some caramel.
