AR (417), Georgia, USA Oct 23, 2009 Hazy pour with a banana-nut bread aroma. Slippery smooth with a bourbon taste. Taste more like a liqueur than a beer. dand645 (75), Bayonne, New Jersey, USA Oct 21, 2009 copper red pour, quickly dissapearing tan head, ish ton of floaters...nose is dried fruit, malty, sweet, lots of booze...flavor is much the same, great solid mouthfeel...nice changeup45 (782), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 12, 2009 Pours a hazy reddish-brown color with a nice initial tan head. Lots of bubbles and foamy patches remain on top. The aroma shows sherry, oak, plums, toffee and sweet candy. The flavor follows, I don’t pick up more or less, perhaps less oak and more sweet toffee or caramel. Scattered lacing. Moderately sticky sweet but it’s fine and not overbearing in small portions. More than half a bomber or so and it becomes a bit much. Very little alcohol sting showing for an 11% beer. It will warm you up though. Overall a solid sipper, straight forward, no wow factor, but a good drink caresville (106), Vernon, New Jersey, USA Oct 5, 2009 pours a reddish burgundy tint with a small tan head and some decent lacing. smells woody and alcoholy, with hints of sugar, nutmeg, and spice. tastes like a liquor with slight fruit flavoring. difficult to drink after the first few sips for me and that bourbon taste really kicks in.
