12oz can - part of beer club. Not bad - was definitely mild on flavor. Decent

7.9% abv. Eh. This is a pretty straightforward malty brew with caramel. There’s bourbon in there, but it’s too weak. It’s okay, but to me doesn’t offer enough.

Red gold pour. Thick foamy head around the rim. Even lace. Grain hops and hint of malt with pith on palate. Light bodied and light carbonation

Labeled BBA, 7.9%, but not the Green River version: Oak nose, mild bourbon presence. Clear copper, medium head. Oak, soil. Medium body, easy carbonation.

Last of my sample flight at their brewpub downtown. Sweet malty caramel aroma. Less but present smokey, peat but also fruity. Nice one. Again.

Bourbon, caramel malt, and hay aroma. Amber with small head. Moderately sweet bourbon, caramel malt, and moderately bitter hay flavor. Good body.
