Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Dark pour with modest short lived head. Moderate aroma of bourbon,mild oak and vanilla. Initial taste is watery bourbon with some oak and hints of vanilla. Decent beer but could use some oomph in the mouthfeel. Not as fullbodied as the taste would indicate. O/W nice. 22 oz bomber,$6.59
Pours real dark with a light brown head. The nose is a mix of malt and Jim Beam. Very interesting once it hits the mouth... A real bubbly sour malt creates a unique taste and makes every drink an experience. I will be getting this again in the future.
22 oz. bomber. Vanilla, molasses, and dark dried fruits are abundant in the aroma of this dark mahogony/brown ale. The aromas carry through to the taste but in a much more muted form. Hints of Bourbon and wood are also present.
