Probably one of the best strong ales I’ve ever tried. Pours a very dark colour and contains a mouthful of dark roasty flavours. Can really taste the bourbon on your lips but doesn’t harsh you away. A great beer for after dinner!

This is the best beer I’ve ever had!! It also makes a great marinade.

Sweet, creamy, and thick. Velvety smooth mouth feel, vanilla flavors. Melted ice cream.

I was first introduced to this beer at Mekong. UNBELIEVABLE! Fantastic taste. Good complexity here. One of my all-time favorties. Had the pleasure of meeting the brewmaster at the 2010 GABF.

Hands down the best beer I’ve ever tasted. Smoky and dark without being overwhelming and bitter. Delicious opening and a smooth almost creamy finish.

If you like a heavy dark beer like guiness and a smooth bourbon you will love this beer

This is an amazing beer. This is the first aged oak barrel ale I have ever had and I want more. Admittedly I first thought this wasn’t going to be any good because of it having a deep vanilla tone. I quickly discovered that deep vanilla tone is what gave this ale an amazing taste. It’s so good, I’m willing to overlook the fact that it’s $9 a bottle.

Bottle served in a pint glass. Pours brown with a large light brown rocky head with a head that is mostly diminishing but some very good lacing. The aroma is of caramel and a slight hint of oak. Takeing a drink all I can say is wow. Caramel malts, along with molasses and a slight nuttyness, with a subtly oakyness. There is also some butter and butterscotch. The body is full with a creamy texture and soft carbonation.

The iceman and I had this fine brew and damn is it delicious. It is definitely strong but not overpretentious in taste. Bourbon overtones are present but it has a smooth and complicated finish. Truly another fine beer from Brett Vanderkamp ant NHB!!
