Sample at Pint House, brown sugar rimmed glass. Pours a clear orange color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of pumpkins and slight oak. Medium-bodied with flavors of sweet pumpkin spice, oaky vanilla and slight hops. The finish is sweet with a pumpkin and cinnamon aftertaste. Tastes exactly like the Bourbon Barrel Ale with pumpkin thrown in, but decent nonetheless.

12 oz bottle. Aroma of cocoa and roasted malt. The flavor is the same with a weak hint of cheap whiskey. Body is really thin for a porter. Overall, not bad. However, it is really light in the britches.

Bottle shared by my dad. Inky black with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates. Earthy roasty dark chocolate oak tannin and warming alcohol. Nice flavor but imho opinion needs more sweetness or body to counter the barrel.

Pours near black with a small tan head. It smells of chocolate, roast malt and bourbon. The flavor is fairly sweet with chocolate, mild bourbon, coffee, and roast malt. It’s pretty good though as is often the case with this brewer, I find myself wishing the flavors were more intense, maybe a darker roast character with more hops.
