Aromas are a little off and unbalanced with lager mixed with vanilla and a little orange. Flavors are similar to nose. Okay body and carbonation. Just drinkable.

Pour is a clear bronze with a large white head. Aroma is all marshmallowy vanilla. Flavor is more vanilla with a very minor oak barrel hit after the swallow. It's not a sweet as I thought it was going to be. Decent but also glad I just picked up a single.

Near black pour with a light tan head. Smells of bourbon and roast malt. A bit of chocolate and coffee. Tastes of roast malt, chocolate, mild bourbon, and a bit of coffee. Medium bodied. It’s okay though given the name I expected it to be toastier.

Pint at Epcot. Judge me. The man cub was eating funnel cake. Hazy amber, cloudy white head. Nose has malt, its bourbony but its faux, vanilla and caramel. Flavors all follow. Its a bit flabby on the finish. Sweet.
