Oct 7, 2007 10/5/07 From the bottle. Aroma is complex and clashes a little with notes of alcohol, candilike sweetness, vanilla and dark dried fruit. Appearance is clear reddish tan with no head. Flavor is sweet vanilla malt forward with some raisiny character and light alcohol. Mouthfeel is full bodied, slightly creamy with a medium carb feel. Overall, this is a bit strange, but could probably get pretty good with some aging.

Sep 30, 2007 All alcohol in the nose. Light amber color with a small head. Initial vanilla going into a slight alcohol burn and finishing with a imitation vanilla flavor that lasts with a slight amount of alcohol still coming though. Weak palate.

Sep 12, 2007 24oz bottle)-A medium amber body with a nice medium head that dissipated into a small ring. Aroma of bourbon and alcohol with vanilla on the back end. Taste of vanilla and bourbon with the alcohol coming on the back end. Better than ’05 and a pretty decent brew from AB all considering. Now if they could brew beer like this all the time.

Aug 15, 2007 (bottle - 24 oz: 2005 vintage) Cloudy copper color with not much of a head. Aroma is very sweet and sticky with lots of oak, vanilla, bubblegum, and some cookie dough. Lots of sweet malts. Overly sweet flavor with tons of vanilla, malts, plums, alcohol, bubble gum, and a ton of smoke flavor at the end. Very complex but way too sweet. Alcohol very present.

Aug 7, 2007 Cloudy brown color. No head and no visible carbonation. Vanilla and plum aroma, but no hops noticed. Medium palate with more carbonation than was seen from the glass. Definite vanilla bean and suble molasas flavor. No hops, no bitterness. A peat like flavor, unique like a beer blended with whisky or scotch. Very good. When the professionals at A-B are given the OK to show creativity and actually use some quality ingredients - they can deliver.

Jul 10, 2007 artillery shell from Gomers of Kansas. Pors a nice dark amber with vanishing head. Very vanilla on the nose. There is a lot of vanilla in the taste with a little oak in there as well. I can get a little sense of the alcohol after aged for 7 months in a cellar. This would be a nice one to drink during the next holiday season.
