12 oz. bottle @ home, a curious find at De Bierkoning, 4 years after its release. Deep dark brown color. Creamy light beige head, with not too long retention. Aroma's: fruity, a bit raisins/dried fruit, sweetish, toffee, bourbon, vanilla, wood. Retronasal it's sweetish, a bit perfumey, bourbon, vanilla, woody. Flavor is just above moderate sweet, a bit dry from the tannines, light fruit and alcohol. Alcohol is warming but not too hot/sharp. Body is medium. Long finish, woody, dryish. Definitely a bit old, but still very nice!

Bottle. Very dark brown color, small beige head. Nice aroma of vanilla, chocolate, toffee, banana, clove. Taste is smooth vanilla, cocoa, fruit. Tasty.

sample from bottle at 2014 houston big brew fest. Deep brown with small head. Rich chocolate with banana and substantial bourbon. I’d have a very hard time picking a favorite from these Bishop’s Barrel varieties.

Bottle. Pours mahogany with a medium tan head that dissipates fairly quickly with good lacing. Aroma is vanilla, bourbon, toffee, oak. Flavor is medium sweet and light bitter with light plus astringence from wood tannins. Bready with bourbon notes, vanilla, dark sugars, cocoa. Medium body, a bit hot and astringent to be truly good.

Pours dark brown with very light head out of bottle. Aroma of bourbon, chocolate, and slight hint of banana. Flavor of bourbon and malt with sweet finish of banana. Pretty good beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12 oz bottle from bytemysis. Nose is banana, chocolate, vanilla, a light bourbon. Very dark clear brown with a medium, heavy lacing tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet, very fruity, woody vanilla, and a hint of bourbony alcohol warmth. Love it when I find a great barrel aged weizenbock.

12oz bottle thanks to HeffIam. Poured a solid black medium desnity body under a smaller to average sized off white/super light beige creamy head. Aroma of booze, bourbon, toasted coconut, old banana peels, light chocolate and black toast. Medium to fuller body, stronger carbonation for an aged barreled beer, lingering boozy afer taste. Flavor is the same as the aroma. Nice stuff.

In BB vertical 7/10/14. From cloaker-thanks! Dark brown with watery rim. Nose is light spice, light banana, some chocolate. Light chocolate flavor, with some hazelnut, and light spice. Interesting but a bit rudderless.

Sample at first sunday. Getting a lot of sweetness and light cocoa. Bit of soy sauce, dark red and purple fruits. Chewy grain and malt. Aroma has a slight roastiness. Nutty caramel flavors. A lot going on here. Nutty flavors followed by some bourbon, wood, and oak. A bit all over the place but everything is subtle.

12 oz. bottle from a Texas trade - thanks again, Brian! Pours a deep, clear brownish-amber with a small beige head. Aroma of bourbon, brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, toast, and spice - warming. The flavor is a dialed-down version of the nose, with a hint of artificial sweetener, as well. Light-medium bodied, with a sweet, sticky mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Finishes with some spice and warmth. Pretty good barrel treatment.
