Not bad....not bad at all. It come across wth sort of a barleywine meets olde ale type of taste profile. Its not super heavy on the barrel flavor but there's just enough to intertwine nicely with the caramel notes from the Freudian Sip. at 10% its not overpowering on the booze and you can drink it a little faster than your normal BA beer. Added bonus: a 22 will only set you back $15 (in the tasting room. YMMV at bottle shops).

Had a 4oz taster at the Brewery in San Diego. Very nice flavor with the hint of burbon.

R" logo-stamped, black wax capped 22oz bottle from j47paco (thanks yet again!). No discernible bottle date. Served in a Bells snifter.

Pours a brilliant ruby chestnut with a little less than one finger dirty cream color head. Those frothy bubbles crackle away to a sparce, thin layer of retention while leaving only a few specks of lace behind.

Smells of bourbon soaked oak, caramel, mild floral and a little vanilla. Pretty nice.

Taste expounds upon that nose. Bourbon, burnt caramel, herbal, floral bitterness, toffee, raisins, cereal and a subtle but undeniable booze heat.

Caramelly smooth medium full feel with light carbonation. Boozey burnt caramel, oak and semi bitter fruit skins comprise the finish.

Somewhere between an American barleywine and strong ale lies Bourbon Barrel Aged Freudian Slip. An enjoyable sipper with pleasant notes that cross some style lines to create a a familiar yet slightly different brew.

Copper
Malt sugars and bourbon in nose
Citrus hop with an mellowed smoothness ( sorta Burton Baton) , warming alcohol, bourbon, slight sweetness . A taste profile that would suit those who like barleywine, as I do.
Lighter mouth than a BW, but pleasantly appropriate

Well done, Rough Draft. I liked it enough after the first bottle to buy a second which i am reviewing tonight

deep copper, thick, lace-heavy, almond color head. smells like sweet malt, and sweet bourbon. taste is very similar to the aroma, but with a hint of oak thrown in. mouthfeel is nice, slightly sticky and medium bodied. this is the kind of extra i love to receive!
