3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 ounce bottle courtesy of Kinz. Thanks! Sampled at the 11th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 4/17/10. Pours a lightly hazy dark reddish amber color with a thin white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of raisins, toffee, bourbon, some buttery notes. Very nice. The taste is bourbon, bitter hop notes, raisin, caramel and toffee. A faint tartness and a little bit of bitter chocolate in the finish. Medium-full bodied.

In the bomber bottle from Luekens. Pours light brown to dark amber with a yellow head. Intense aroma at first of butterscotch, then it segues into bourbon and coconut. Strong coconut flavor. Not as thick a mouth as you’d expect, but the bourbon is fairly serious. Nice esophageal burn. A fun beer to drink pool-side on a Pass-a-Grille February.

22oz bottle, nice red copper pour, I get slight vanilla and strawberry on the nose. Full-bodied beer with a rich caramel, vanilla, strawberry candied green apple taste. Bourbon is present throughout and finishes moderately sweet with caramel apple. I think this is an excellent representation of a well treated ale. Re-buy for me.

Aging a beer in bourbon barrels is a good way to make me love it. Red Brick did not disappoint with this incredible brew.

On tap at the brewery in Atlanta. Pours a clear, brown-amber with an inch thick, creamy, beige head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is big on the bourbon. Some smooth vanilla and a light oak along with a somewhat sweeter caramel. Flavor is similar. Sweeter caramel and oaky bourbon with a smooth vanilla. The bourbon is a nice addition and very distinct while packing a lot of flavor, yet never overwhelming. Some light chocolates and a slight earthy finish as this dries and leaves a lengthy aftertaste. Medium-full body with a moderate carbonation. Overall, a really nice bourbon aged beer. Not overwhelming and a nice, welcome addition. This is tasty.

Sampled at the Richmond Eleventh. Hazy copper pour with ring of tan head. Nose of bourbon, but flavor is more oakey and vanilla. Cant really pick out much for the original style, but I do detect some brown notes. Moderate carbonation. Certainly not the worst thing I’ve had from these guys.

(Sample Date: 4/17/2010 Source:Other) Bourbon is the aroma with some sweet caramel to back. Clear medium copper brown with little head. Flavor is a nice woody bourbon with a citrusy sour twang behind. Alcohol warming is perceptible in the finish. Very nice.
