Apr 17, 2008 Wow what a great sipping beer! I waited a long time to get a hold of this and it blew my expectations away! The aroma was absolutely perfect! Strong oak, vanilla and chocolate with a heavy alcohol note. Pour was also perfect. A cloudy deep dark brown/near black with a 4 finger tan head. Taste was out of this world. Strong vanilla and oak with an earthy peat backbone with a scotch alcohol burn in the aftertaste. The oak and the burnt caramel malt flavors come in and out and justify the burn. Outstanding!

Apr 14, 2008 It is so nice to live in SD because of the number of great brewers. Lost Abbey is right at the top and Angel’s Share is one of their best.
Such a hard beer to find (even in SD) and worth every penny I paid.
Hues of dark cherry red in appearance but not taste.
A proper hint of Brandy. Perfect palate from start to finish.
Bought at the Linkery in South Park. Got the last bottle for $42 a pop.

Apr 9, 2008 Sampled courtesy mgumby10. Dark brown in color, sparse tan head. Decent amount of brandy, oak, fruity malts, alcohol on the nose. Very rich. Mostly smooth on the taste, despite a little alcohol burn, fruity finish. The sweetness and barrel don’t overpower, but they don’t really combine into what I was expecting for the hype.

Apr 5, 2008 Thanks a TON miketd!!! Thanks to turdferguson I got to try this side to side with its bourbon barrel aged self. Poured a beautiful dark ruby brown with a one finger creamy tan head. Less carbonated than its bourbon version. The aroma was sweet, dark fruits, molasses, light subtle oak, nice light brandy aroma. The flavor was sweet, dry alcohol, nice oak character, vanilla, malty, caramel, raisin, oak tannin. The palate was warming and sweet with a nice oak background.

Apr 4, 2008 The color was very dark brown/ruby. The head was very thin, fizzy, and light beige. The aroma was alcohol, dark fruit, and chocolate/caramel. The flavor was alcohol, grape, tart, hoppy, spice, and dry. The palate was thick-bodied. The finish was warm.
