500 ml bottle poured into a tulip glass
A: Pours a hazy dark orange with a white head, not much head retention, decent amount of carbonation, looks a little thin for 8%.
A: Vanilla bomb, lots of vanilla, bourbon, toffee, very sweet, not getting much else, some alcohol on the nose, pretty bright aromas, bourbon really shines through.
T: Like the nose, a hit of vanilla, toffee, and bourbon, slight bitterness in the middle, slight finish with caramel malts coming through, lots of vanilla and bourbon, overwhelms the other characteristics.
M: Medium mouthfeel, bourbon adds some heat, semidry finish, fairly easy drinking.
O: I thought the bourbon and vanilla came through really good, however, I would have like the bock's characteristics to come through, but they were overwhelmed by the bourbon, enjoyable but could have been better with some depth and complexity, with some age it might change.

2015 version. 7.5.% abv., aged in Heaven Hills bourbon barrels. Pours a clean yellow-orange. Intense bourbon aroma with a sweetness. Taste is much the same, and really overpowered by the bourbon (just as i remember from previous versions). Unable to really taste the base beer, but great if your looking to taste "some" boubon. Fun to revisit, not a daily drinker. Cheers!

Had this beer as part of a flight of samplers on tap at Boneyard Bistro. I repeated this one. Kinda of a murky golden color. Too many smells in this BBQ joint to figure that out. I agree with some of the reviewers below. Smooth and whiskey barrel forward without being too sweet. Not complex. A clean, simple beer. Nice, long, and pleasant aftertaste that didn't deteriorate. A sip will make you smile. It was the favorite beer of the evening (7 beers tried). It is also available currently at Whole Foods in Sherman Oaks. It played very nicely with the BBQ feast we had going for a birthday celebration. Served with BBQ is a good food pairing.

This beer surprised me. I went in and asked for a barrel aged and they said this was the only one they had in bottles. I brought it home and drank it that night. Kinda has a smooth almost buttery taste to me. I would put this in the top 5 beers I have had in 2015
