Oct 11, 2009 When I rate this I see an average score of 4.15, with a ratebeer score of 3.54. That’s OK with me, but when I look at Bruery’s beer listing and sort by rating, this comes out very low, even though it may become one of their highest rated beers. I wish the listing would display the average score on the Bruery page, but still use the ratebeer score for ranking purposes. This way I can look at the Bruery page and tell at a glance what is good. From bottle at BA Papier release at the Bruery. Wow. Smells really great. Sweet. Delicious. Very boozy, but suprizingly easy to drink. Buttery vanilla barrel aged aroma.

Oct 2, 2009 Dr. Bill Tasting - Falling Rock - GABF 2009: A reddish/amber colored beer with pretty much no head to speak of. The nose is boozy, sweet, and full of molassis. The flavors are again boozy...and sweet, yet tangy..and pretty damn BIG. a little less refined than the other papiers, but still a nice sipper.

Sep 30, 2009 ( 750ml bottle ) Pours a cloudy brown body with a small off-white head. Aroma of bourbon, raisins, toffee, and vanilla. Flavor of bourbon, vanilla, brown sugar, dates, raisins, and toffee with a dry wood finish. Excellent!

Sep 29, 2009 Bottle. Glad as hell I got to try one of these BA papiers!! Dark brown pour with a small head. Tons of sweetness in the nose. Maply syrup, cane syrup, dark agave nectar, brown sugar, booze, and maybe even a roasted marshmallow. Flavor is sweet and lingers forever. Vanilla, booze, brown sugar, syrup, and dark fruit. Yeah its damn good.

Aug 2, 2009 Bottle. Brown with little to no head. Just the right amouint of carbonation for the style. Smooth and silky mouthfeel. Tastes of vanilla, dried dates, maple syrup and wood. Complex and well balanced. Best of the three.

May 18, 2009 Bottles at The Bruery’s anniversary. Dark brown with a small head. Mellow whiskey, lots of wood, and smoke in the aroma. The flavor is a silky blend of smooth whiskey, vanilla, malt, brown sugar and wood. Full bodied and silky. The best of the three bottled versions.
