15 DEC 07, Southeast YeHa. Medium deep brown. Aroma of sweet vanilla, alcohol. Vanilla and straight Whiskey. Big alcohol burn, I feel like a scotch drinker now. The Brandy Barrel Old Stock is just a hair better, although this beer is the best of the best. Thanks KP!

A big big thanks to SOLAN for this one, wow! worthy of # 1000 i’d say. Sherry-like aroma, vanilla with hints of chocolate. pours dark amber with a thin white head that disipates. Big vanilla flavor with some alcohol, molasses and brown sugar, all i can say is wow at this point, oaky, cherry pits, with a lot of tanin and a dry finish. as it warms i get a lot of old wood flavor. This beer is AWESOME!

2005 Bottle generously shared by Ty5592. I owe you man! Thanks! Pours a murky brown with a light tan dissipating head. Aroma is divine- vanilla, brown sugar, malt. Full bodied with a nice earthiness and soft carbonation. Rich texture without being syrupy. Flavor of rich malts, vanilla, sweet bourbon, and dark caramel. Mid palate- you get some subtle hints of tobacco, smoke, and oak. I like the balance between the sweetness and bitterness. The finish is boozy without being hot or peppery. Amazing beer that should be in the top 50.

Bottle courtesy of my man Naven. Very small head. Almost appears uncarbonated upon sight, but not in the mouth. Hot w/ bourbon and alcohol w/ maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and caramel undertones. An excellent beer. I love it.
