Purchased in Dec. 2010.
Upon pouring, a white foamy head that quickly disappears into just a little lacing. Notes of bourbon and fruit in the nose.
Mouthfeel is medium-thin, but about right for the style. Dark, fruity malt with a hint of sour cherries--the sour note is complemented nicely by the bourbon. Pleasant, lingering finish.
At first the bourbon flavors seemed a tad strong, but after a few sips it felt more balanced. This one had aged at least five years in the bottle, and it was appropriately smoothed and mellowed. This was my first BB-aged quad, and I have to say it's an interesting combination. I'd enjoy tasting the base beer on its own...maybe the Brau Bros will release it some day.

Very nice beer to drink. Heavy booze flavor with a creamy smooth feel in the mouth. Top notch in my opinion.

Really well done, I'd never heard of this brewery before but their beer was on point.
Boozy and sweet, great head retention, mouthfeel was really nice, creamy and the booze was there, especially as it warmed down. Overall, a fantastic beer for an extra, that is always nice.

A Cloudy red hue with a thin but steady, creamy head; really nice lacing

F: Medium body and creamy--a bit thin in the finish
O: This is a big, boozy beer and I like it--oaky, bourbony, malty, fruity--this is tasty
