On-tap at the pre-DLD Flossmoor Event.
A - Pours a burnt orange color, cream-colored head, spotty lace.
S - Burnt sugars, toffee, caramel, light dark fruity sweetness.
T - Pretty sweet...caramel, toffee, burnt sugars, dark fruit, light oak. Not much barrel character here compared to how it came though on the Imperial Schwartz. Finish is sweet carmel and dark fruit.
M - Medium body, good carbonation, creamy finish.
O - Not as good as the Imperial Schwartz, but not all that bad. I'd have again and I'm curious to see how this is out of the bottle.

Irresponsible tick #12
A) Medium-light tobacco brown with a layer of haziness. Not much head and not a speck of lace.
S) The aroma goes something like this: sweet bourbon, charred oak, vanilla, dark fruit, peat and doughy grains.
T) The barrels are strong on the palate, too. However, it is more charred oak with whiskey picking up from there. Well done barreling if a little overbearing. Toasted bread and earthy hops.
M) Medium-full feel with moderate carbonation. The bourbon makes for a biting feel which carries the finish.

On-tap at the brewpub.
A: Clear medium amber body with a thin cap of fine tan head that quickly settles into a ring. Light lace. Solid.
S: Caramel, vanilla, charred oak, and bourbon. A bit of fruitiness, too. Nice.
T: Grassy and floral up front, with vanilla oak, caramel, and bourbon as it progresses. Purely boozy finish mars things a bit, though.
M: Creamy, froth medium body. Very lively indeed.
O: Enjoyable, but way too boozy for 7.5%. Probably my least favorite of the three BA offerings during my visit, but still a decent beer.
Cheers!

Bottle: Poured a hazy dirty amber color ale with a large foamy head with excellent retention and some good lacing. Aroma of dry scotch notes with some distinctive peat notes with very little residual sugar notes. Taste is quiet dryer then I had expected with some peat notes with light smoke and some scotch notes with light barley notes. Body is lighter then expected with super great carbonation and light warming alcohol notes. Quite different then what I was expecting with loads of attenuation and almost no residual sugar. I could see myself drinking this on a semi-periodic basis.
