Backlog January 2009. Black body under a small brown head. Strong aroma of roasted dark malt, coffee, chocolate and some bourbon. Taste is in the same direction, dark malt etc. and rather smooth, mild Bourbon impression. Medium body with same aftertaste. Not great, but I find it nice anyway as Bourbon so often seems to dominate for the beer flavors.

Bottle. Lighter in color then I would have thought. Light brown in color. Some head. Tastes more like a Dutch Brown Ale than an Altbier. Aroma the same.

Tap. Had this at the Jack Daniels Pub at Oprylands Hotel. Not sure if this is it. It wasn’t on the menu and the the waitress said it was a "bourbon barrel ale". Wonderful color. Deep amber. Small head not much lace. Notes of vanilla in both taste and aroma. Notes of the oaky bourbon. Nice!
