Growler, pours a hazy orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out loads of whiskey barrels, caramel, bready notes and booze. Flavour is kind of tart, with caramel, bready notes and sour stone fruits. Seems a little off but still very pleasant. Okay.

Growler thanks to Chris shared at RBSG Grand Tasting. Pours a cloudy brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong bourbon, vanilla, cherry, wood. Medium mouth, caramel, candy sugar, vanilla, light booze, very good.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy reddish amber with a grayish tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of barrel with some booze, dark fruits, dark grain and some bitter cherry. Flavor has bitter cherry and dark bread/dark fruits up front with a growing whiskey note through the finish.

Sample at GABF 10/04/2014, thanks to my BIL for assistance with note-taking. Hazy dark golden color with a medium thick off-white head that diminishes gradually. Strings of lacing. Aroma of bourbon, yeast and fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, cherry and yeast. The finish is oaky with a cherry and bourbon aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Winterfest 2013. Maybe the best beer at the festival this year. Fantastic aroma of sweet vanilla and cherry. Sweet flavor with more of the same, and just the lightest bourbon, which adds to the vanilla with oak and improves the flavor rather than bringing intense bourbon character into it. I would say this is one of the best beers ever from Town Hall.
