L: Had this on-tap Growlers to Go - Short Pump, poured into a snifter glass. Had a dirty, medium brown color and a thick, murky consistency. There was a thin, off white, foamy head that quickly dissipated. Not much lacing.
S: A very nice aroma of malt, caramel, hops, bourbon, oak, and vanilla.
T: Tasted of a bit of hops (a mild presence), a good shot of bourbon (and the accompanying oak barrel), a tinge of vanilla, a decent amount of malt, and lots of caramel. A solid and subtle kind of flavor. It's not nearly as boozy as I would've thought, but it still packs a punch. Lots of caramel for optimal sweetness. Tasty stuff.
F: A fair amount of carbonation with a sharp finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A well done, easy to like beer. Worth a shot.
