Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Poured a hazy orange brown with a thick tan head that lasted throughout the beer. Aroma was full of caramel, sweet grain, raisin and a nice backing bourbon and light fruit. Flavor was full of caramel and sweet grains with some light fruit, raisin and a nice bourbon backbone.

Finally my first Town Hall brew. Thanks to inflatablehair Pours from a growler. Pours out a dark brown with a small ring of a head. Aroma was great lots of oak, vanilla, light bourbon, sweet caramel and some pit fruit. Taste was much of the aroma but with a nice rich and creamy mouth feel. Very nice.

This one falls short of the greatness of Twisted Reality. Still sweet. Moderately hopped, and the bourbon is present in the aroma. While I don’ think it destroys the beer, I am not sure it does much to help. Still, it doesn’t entirely overwhelm the other flavors. Sweet finish.
