The label indicates this is the 2019 version of Bourbon BA Rye Wine Ale and has a 12.4% ABV. An acquisition made several weeks ago at The Cellar, a corked and caged 375 ml bottle. Using my Cowtown tulip glass, I make the pour. A murky, muddy brown liquid with no head at all although I do see some effervescence. It has that sweetish, grainish smell I associate with the style. And a taste, yes, this is pretty decent. Figs, caramel, wheat bread, earth, some bourbon booziness and malt. Time to settle in and enjoy the bottle on a horribly cold evening.

Pour is more of a watery brown ale with a large white head. Aroma is toasted grain and a bit of sweet caramel malt and some hops I guess. Flavor is Again a grain and it's sweet but not as sweet as I thought it was going to be. Hops are there more in a bittering way than for flavor. It's malty but that is to be expected.

Pour is a golden with a large white head. Aroma is an ok grapefruit hop. Flavor is is kind of watery and bland. Hops are there but way in the background. This needed a little more oomph. It's a low abv pale ale but it's a little low in everything.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is really quite hoppy. Some lemon and mint. Flavor is again a pretty aggressive hop for a pils. Not much of a malt this is all about the hops. If you like IPL's then this would be for you.

Bottle (2018 vintage) from share with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is virtually opaque very dark brown (like a cola) with tons of sparkle at the edges of the glass, ring of beige head and mild lacing. Aroma is mellow bourbon and rye, caramel. Taste is dominant bourbon (stronger than aroma), caramel, late rye. Maybe a hint of a tart fruit quality at the very end. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, somewhat thin texture, silky soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, though bourbon is dominant it doesn’t run roughshod over the base beer but the flavors aren’t huge. Really nice mouthfeel.
