Sep 14, 2009 750mL bottle. Thanks kegbear! aroma is malt with a definite lingering bourbon whiskey smell. The initial taste is very sweet malt which then fades into nice well balanced almost sugary whiskey taste. Very very well blended. This beer is fantastic!

Aug 23, 2009 Bottle… This beer rocks!… Cloudy, apricot nectar-colored ale with little to no head. The aroma provides very light notes of bourbon, and butterscotch and is just a wee bit acidic. The controlled dose of diacetyl works really well here. Full-bodied and oily with gentle carbonation. It’s sweet, but not cloying - tangy, but not tart – bourbony, but not hot – darn near perfect. Sweet, grassy finish. Big time thanks to giarcsr for providing the bottle of this world class beer!

Aug 14, 2009 Shared by Hopscotch at The Coffee District. Damn what a good beer! Unique as hell and good as shit! Pours a cloudy gold color wtih a small beige head. Aroma is cool but a bit odd. Wheat, yeast, spice and bourbon mix with some light lemony notes. Flavor is amazingly smooth. Sweet, vanilla, bourbon, spice, oak and some yeast. Quite an experience. I want more!

Aug 11, 2009 Wax topped bomber thanks to Hopscotch. Nose is wierd. Milky, with a hint of spice and bourbon. Pours a hideous milky orange. Looks like yeast dregs but this is from the start of the bottle. Flavor is thankfully amazing. Little carbonation but a huge woody bourbony vanilla note with a spicy complex floral middle. Finishes with bourbon and orange with a slight bretty sourness. What a crazy unique beer. This thing rocks.

Jul 15, 2009 Bottle at the RBSG09 grand tasting. Honey-orange color with a small head. The aroma is pretty interesting with a mix of bourbon, wood, fruit, and caramel. the flavor is sweet and malty with rich bourbon and wood. The fruitier notes of the base beer are a little overpowered by the barrel, but the combo is still pretty nice. Definitely cool to try this version.
