Poured from can into a pint glass

Appearance – The beer pours a crystal clear deeper amber color with a tiny fizzy white head. The head fades rather fast to leave the tiniest level of fizzy lace on the sides of the glass.

Smell – The aroma of the beer is sweeter overall with aromas of caramel and toffee as well as some lighter hints of a more peach and apricot fruit nature. With these aromas are some quite light oaky and woodsy aromas as well as a bit of a doughy smell.

Taste – The taste begins a lightly roasted and drier flavor with some notes of a fruit nature of apricot and peach. These fruits are quite light with them being complemented by a very light caramel as well, bringing a lighter level of sweetness to the brew overall. While upfront the taste is on the slightly crisper side, as the flavor advances other flavors of a more oaky and bourbon flavor begin coming to the tongue as well, taking away from the crispness. The oak and bourbon flavors are rather decent, but unfortunately they are not the only flavors that come to the tongue at this time. Some more grainy and other more astringent flavors with some medicine like tastes as well as a bit of hay and grass come to the tongue. With the advent of the bourbon, oak, medicine and hay that come to the tongue, one is left with a slightly none-complimentary and off flavor to linger on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the beer on the thinner side in terms of thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is on the medium to higher side. Overall the feel was decent, as it was nice of the crisper tastes of the beer upfront, all while not over accentuating some of the more off flavors of the brew that come more toward the end of the taste.

Overall – Really nothing too spectacular here in my opinion. The bourbon flavors decent, but with the off flavors that accompany them, it really pulls away from the quality of the brew.

This is one that I had a few years ago & since Miller is a popular beer brand, I decided to give it a score. I tasted a lot of corn going on, it was okay but I still would prefer some Miller High Life over this product. Cheers! C

Tastes good in a whiskey glass, slow sipping. Great for what it is. Cheap, strong, and tastey.

This is Miller's answer to AB Black Crown. It's not as good....But, much better than lower tier American adjunct brews. It rates an "okay" from me. This beer.. ."Poor" compared to the other 'poors" BA rates in this category is WAY unfair. Yes , it is a malty non-hoppy ale. Seems the hoppy beers win the higher ratings. Try it and see what you think?
