3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle shared by MrPickles...thanks Andy! - Pours murky cola with a bubbly tan head. Nose is mostly sweet bourbon with a fruity malty base. Super smooth and fruity in the mouth, with tons of raisins and bourbon sweetness. Smooth and slick in the mouth. Haven’t had many bourbon barrel quads, but this was pretty tasty.

Bottle shared in line at GTMW ticketing. Thanks to...whoever. Dark brown, slightly ruby pour with a wisp of tan head. Noticeable alcohol legs. Supremely smooth bourbon on the nose, vanilla, oaky tones, fig and plum. Not much residual candi sugar, which is nice, dark winter fruits, and a pleasantly present bourbon. Slick, smooth mouthfeel. Outstanding, the highlight of the day.

Bottle shared in the GTMW ticket line, pours a really dark amber with an off white head and lacing, the aroma has a good amount of dark fruit and plums mixed in with the bourbon and oak, the flavor has a sweet front end with the bourbon and oak balancing it perfectly in the finish, tasted like a big beer but it went down smooth, nice.

Bottle shared by Sean, thanks! Pours a near clear deep amber brown with a tan head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has earthy dark grains, a hint of dark fruit and a nice bourbon note. Flavor has a nice combination of vanilla bourbon with dark fruit, sweet dark grains and candied sugars.

22oz bottle from Jackie O’s. Pours a deep copper amber with an off-white head. Nose is sweet malt, some vanilla, wood, bourbon, and goodness, along with some plummy dark fruits and more complimentary bourbon notes with some candy sugar as well. Flavor follows with big sweet malt, some nice candy sugar and then that bourbon-vanilla goodness hits and all is well. Medium in body and lovable candy sugar meets vanilla bourbon goodness finish.

Bottle. Poured a dark almost black ruby red color with no real head to speak of. Bourbon and barrel notes on the nose. Flavor had a touch of vanilla there, some barrel there, touch of dried fruits. Not bad in the least. Quite an enjoyable brew.

Staff Bottle. Poured a clear brown color with an average frothy brown head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy dark sweet fruit and woody whiskey alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth sticky texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy dark sweet bourbon flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate to long duration. Standout complex brew.
