Look - Dark amber cloudy beer with a slight head
Smell - lots of bourbon, sweet caramel
Taste - more mellow then the smell, but still bourbon. Maybe some vanilla caramel in there with it
Feel - medium body with medium light carbonation and a warming effect.
Overall - Pretty good. Taste like a bourbon barrel ale beer. Nothing else really.

1 Pint, .9 fl. oz. bottle
Served in a snifter

This beer pours a ruddy brown with copper highlights. It is hazy and topped with an inch of tan head that leaves virtually no lacing.

It is dominated by sweet bourbon notes. I smell caramel and vanilla with hints of bourbon. After it warms I pick up some date and fig aromas.

The taste is sweet. It starts with molasses. I also get some figs and dates. It is earthy.

Sticky, medium mouthfeel with low carbonation

This is a nice beer. The bourbon shines. I would be up for an audit if the IRS passes these out to take off the edge.

A - Deep, dark copper color with a bubbly, soapy tan lacing ring.

S - Sweet roasted toffee, vanilla, bourbon.

T - Vanilla, bourbon, sweet toffee roast, a little on the boozy side for 8.6%, delicate pine bitterness on the back end.

M - Full bodied, thick, sticky on 'da lips.

O - Like the bourbon barrel in this but the base beer needs a little something extra to inject more flavor to blend with the bourbon.

500 mL bottle poured into a snifter.

Appearance - Deep, dull amber. Almost no head. A few big bubbles.

Smell - Bourbon, caramel, brown sugar. Lots of oak. A bit of oxidation. Boozy.

Taste - Bourbon is nice. Brown sugar. Oak and some nutty malt flavors. I can't imagine it's oxidized, but it has some cardboard with it. Boozy finish.

Mouthfeel - Flat. Gets a little hot. Pretty sweet.

Overall - Very nice. Good barrel. Well balanced and doesn't get too sweet.
