6.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
2014 RBWG Grand Tasting. Brown body with tan head. Big bourbon aroma that takes over as the predominant flavor. Too much bourbon, maybe there was a great beer here.

Bottle shared by Gene at RBWG grand tasting, thanks! Pours a clear amber with a brown hue and a yellowish brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of dark grains with bourbon and vanilla and a bit of roasted malts underlying. Flavor starts with dark bread and roasted malts but grows in sweetness with vanilla and bourbon.

Can, thanks to Dave. It pours hazy pale orange with a medium white head. The nose is rich, juicy, orange, sherbet, tangerine and marmalade. The taste is crisp, juicy, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, minerals, light spice, pine and some alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Very impressive stuff indeed. Crisp, juicy and damn tasty.

Pours gold with a fading head.Nose shows potent Nelson passion fruit notes along with some cookie dough characters. Interesting stuff.Similar flavours, big Nelson hop characters. Not much malt but there is a faint fruity sweetness. Finishes very dry and bitter. Almost sharp.Carbonation could be a little higher.
