10oz pour at Busy Bee Cafe in Raleigh. Translucent nut brown with some creamy off white head. Wooooo. Big nose. Smells like Jim Beam, toffee, vanilla, sour mash whiskey. Flavor is the same. Tastes like they dropped a shot of whiskey in my brown ale. Must have been an extremely wet barrel. Flavors of caramel, coconut, vanilla, brown sugar, cherry, slightly medicinal. full bodied, boozy finish.

Bitter, brown, and boozy as all get out, this beer is all over the place, yet remains steady enough to make for a tasty pint. The pour is slack and uninspiring, but a head eventually blurbles up, reaching a nice tan color. Smells malty and brown yet drenched in whisky. Tastes the same, with a lingering hop finish that is coupled with a boozed-out heat. The Pappy is on full display in this brew, almost too much so, overwhelming the beer in the middle before the hops straighten things out. Needs taming to calm the burn, but age might destroy the authoritarian hoppy streak.

On tap. Pours with a clearish brown hued body with a tan head. Aromas of bourbon, malty, lightly spicy and a bit biscuity. Bourbon aromas are smooth and elegant. Flavors are of bourbon, marzipan, molasses, vanilla, a bit earthy and nutty. A bit thin with medium to slightly lively bubbles. Tasty. No hops left.

Served on draft at Mellow Mushroom in Charlottesville, VA on 3/30/11. 200th North Carolina Rating! Pours a deep slightly hazy copper color with a large dense creamy brown head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of chocolate, nutty notes, citrus hops and mild bourbon notes in the finish. The taste is bourbon, mild chocolate nuts and a bitter hop finish. Smooth and well balanced. Medium bodied. Quite a good beer.
