Courtesy of Dunk. Pours a murky brown, with a small swirly light cream colored head. Smells of vagrant apple brandy aromas, Belgian malts, oak, and caramel notes. The flavor has a good bit of the apple brandy flavor that I got in the nose and a good dose of oak as well. The alcohol was slightly noticeable and had some mild burn going down the throat. Seemingly well balanced though for a barrel aged brew. Full on flavor and well crafted. Maybe didnt totally live up to my high expectations, but certainly didnt disappoint.

courtesy mgumby big thanks: pours a muddy and murky dirty brown with no head. aroma is fantastic with great oak, some of the brandy, rich caramels adn some candied fruits. flaovur is great some alcohol but mostly from the rich brandy flavour, very good caramel , a bitter finish that is fantastic. lived up to what i expected.

Courtesy mbumby10....thanks Mike! Pours a muddy dark chestnut brown with golden/burnt orange highlights at the edge. A small, bubbly tan head leaves behind minimal spotty lacing. A swirl of the glass yields thick, droopy legs. The nose is deep, showing ultra-rich notes of caramel, toffee, chocolate, vanilla, and a variety of dark fruits and spices. Brandy isn’t distinctly detectable, the oaky component is quite nice. Flavors follow along those same rich, chewy lines. Caramel and vanilla are just huge here. This one is definitely malt dominant, with spicy, earthy hops showing just a bit on the back end. Feels quite substantial and smooth in the mouth. This is a great beer, but the Bourbon Barrel version is even better.

Rating number 600! Vintage 2006! Thanks to mreush for this treat! Dark brown with a thin khaki head. Excellent carbonation. Complex aroma oak, brandy, carmel, and molasses. Velvety mouth-feel Big and malty strong alcohol presence on the finish

Merritt Island Throwdown ’08: Bottle, courtesy mgumby10. Pours a turd-water brown, with wet dripping lacing and virtually no head. Caramel aromas, brown sugar, molasses; chocolate and vanilla interplaying. Rich flavors, mostly caramel and brown sugar, with a vanilla cake-like richness that doesn’t go unnoticed, and a unique maple syrup-like finish. Medium-bodied, and very sweet. Delicious.

bottle from the linkery. Garnet red with a tan fluffy head. Chocolate, caramel, earthy herbal spice aroma. Chocolate, molasses, raisin, vanilla, brandy and an oaky finish.

Courtesy of Mgumby10. Pours a medium brown with no head. Aroma is mostly caramel. Tastes of caramel, nuts, dark fruit, and some molasses dominate this magnificent brew. Palate is sticky with a alcohol presence.

Thanks Gumby, I still hate the sea gull. Poured a cola brown. Aroma is a melange of sweetness and richness. Vanilla, oak, brown sugar, malt, malt and more malt. The flavor is deep and rich, malt dominant, with the slightest hint of booziness. Life is good.
