Shared by Skyview, thanks Bob. Dark brown color, very murky, no clarity in the beer. But not in a pretty way. Aroma has alcohol, actually the alcohol is coming off sour, weird. Too much alcohol on the nose. Flavor has a better rounded maltiness with nuts and some chocolate. However, the alcohol is getting in the way as well. Its not like a burning alcohol but a flavor killer and thinner. The alcohol is a bit too thinned out for me on this. The brown ale flavor are there but in combo with alcohol that messes it up for me.
750mL capped bottle, copita glass.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is very spicy - ginger and cardemomme, combined with notes of cedar wood and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of cedar wood, spices - ginger and cardemomme, oranges, on a malty back ground, leading to a dry spicy finish where the cedar wood note lingers.

750 mL bottle... #214/246. Courtesy of tarheels86. Pours a hazy dark brown color with not much of a head. The aroma is sublime. Caramel, toffee, leafy hops, vanilla, maple, bourbon, faint smokiness, booze and green apple. Taste is caramel, toffee, bourbon, wood, faint smoky notes, leafy hops, something faintly cheesy. Full bodied and very smooth. The regular Big Sound is a phenomenal beer but the bourbon works with this too well. This is epic. Fantastic beer.
