RooftopRogue (423), Champaign, Illinois, USA Mar 11, 2006 ) Thanks Phil (Philip)!
This beer has an aroma of bourbon, oak, hops, and fruit. It is caramel colored with a good healthy off-white head. This beer is rich, sweet, and smooth. There is a nice bourbon presence. The finish introduces notes of hops and fruit. The nice robust flavor of bourbon and hops lingers well after this beer has been swallowed.
axilla (948), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 29, 2008 Pours a somewhat murky amber body with a very thin white head. A lot of brett in the aroma with notes of oak, spices, and sour cherries. The flavor is funky the whole way through with a strong tart grape taste followed by some dry oak, sweet lemons with some tangy orange peel. I don’t get a lot of bourbon in his at all. BlackForestCO (629), Fort Collins and Black Forest, Colorado, USA Nov 17, 2008 Bottle shared by Crosling. Poured a light, hazy orange color with a minimal off-white head that faded to a ring and left some spotty lacing. Lightly tart, funky aroma with some barnyard yeast and moderate citrus (orange, lemon peel, tangerine). Moderately sweet, smooth entry with some funky, earthy barnyard yeast and some soft citrus notes (apricot and tangerine) that finishes moderately dry with a hint of oak, Low carbonation, moderate bite with some dry yeastiness. A solid beer overall, but I will take the regular Luci. jstraw (522), Oak Park, Illinois, USA Oct 21, 2008 Cloudy brown-gold with light head / Big medicinal nose of caramel, green apple, oak, and spice / Medium body, sour, low carbonation, with long, slightly hot finish / Oaky, funky flavors of green apple, caramel, aged cheese, pepper, and brett / Flavors seem to have dropped off a bit, with oak predominant. Still a treat from this great brewer. Skinnyviking (2965), Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 20, 2008 Draught. Very high and long lasting white head. Hazy yellow body. Fruity sour aroma and flavor.
