On tap at McGillicuddys, Five Corners, Essex Junction, VT.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a bar pours kind of slim cap of a head. Seemed to just trickle right on into the beer.
The aroma had some super sweet wood to milk chocolate, subtle fudge, vanilla extract and some bubblegum.
The flavor seemed to pull all of the prior mentioned aromas together super sweet and right on into the aftertaste and on into the finish.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine as well. Honestly, going to say, its a bit watery to be honest.
Overall, hmmmm....the things I do just to get to my 6000th rating, well, honestly, its not that bad, but probably not one to desperately seek out again. Its really sweet all around.

I’ve been avoiding this for awhile, suspecting it wasn’t going to be very good. I was mostly right, but it was better than expected. So it’s nice to have something bourbon barrel aged that isn’t an imperial stout. Here though I could barely tell there was much oomph to the underlying ale. A heavier old ale/barleywine would work better. Decent vanilla/bourbon and oak flavors, lightly sweet caramel malts.

Bourbon and caramel nose. Crystal clear bronze, thin yellow head. Yeast, malt, bourbon. Medium body, moderate carbonation.

Pours a clear golden brown from a bottle, thin white head with medium bubbles, minimal lacing. Bourbony, vanilla caramel aroma, similar flavor but dryer and less strong. A little biscuity. Good beer.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours fairly crystal clear deep orange/amber/light copper color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, honey, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, and brown bread; with lighter notes of coconut, butterscotch, fruitiness, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of bready malt and bourbon barrel notes; with solid strength. Taste of big caramel, honey, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, and brown bread; with lighter notes of coconut, butterscotch, fruitiness, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness. Light earthy bitterness and bourbon/oak spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, honey, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, brown bread, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of bready malt and bourbon barrel flavors; with no cloying sweetness after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/creamy, and lightly tannic mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.2%, with zero barrel booziness. Overall this is a very good barrel aged English strong ale. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of bready malt and bourbon barrel flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Not a ton of malt complexity, but showcases the bourbon barrel character very well. A very enjoyable offering.

Draft in a shaker at Lexington North Courtyard. Caramel clear with mild bourbon and sweet malt flavor. Not that bad.

7/X/16 - 12Fl. Oz. bottle @ Cybu's birthday party, BB: n/a (2016-1215) Thanks to Cybu for sharing the bottle!

Clear orange beer, creamy yellowish head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet, bourbon, vanilla, caramel, fruity, red liquorice. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of bourbon, vanilla, bit sweet, very yeasty, ripe banana. Aftertaste: hint of bourbon or is that the power of suggestion? Slightly bitter and mainly sweet. Not really impressed.
