Draft pint. Hey, at the St. Louis bar where this was on tap, I saw more glasses of this than of Bud Light! They also seem to working the word "Unfiltered" into the official name, too. well, I’m still fighting a cold, so I left the lemon in this time, meaning a lemony smell couldn’t be avoided. Dark yellow and hazy. Taste stays light here, even the lemony aspect is welcome. Low in the usual hefe esters, which I appreciate. Goes down nocely paired with a Buffaol chicken wrap.

(July, 2008)Pours deep amber with thin tan head. The aroma is wood and vanilla first then turning alcohol booziness, burnt malts, caramel and more booze. The taste is bourbon booze with hints of wood. It then picks up notes of mild caramelized malty sweetness and vanilla before another boost from the booze takes the experience into the finish. I prefer a bit more of the base beer in the flavor than this product has. The after taste has a nice vanilla note at times.
(Nov. 2007)Courtesy jayg. Pours dark brown and not black with tan head. It has a sweet roasty aroma with some molasses and then burnt malts. The flavor is roasted malts, sweetness, hints of molasses that slowly turns vanilla toward the finish. Nice full flavor. There is just a hint of the ABV.

Bomber bottle. Pour is a cloudy orange with a average white head. Aroma is very fruity and yeastey with some barnyard funk. Flavor is a bit watery but the hops come out tfirst to greet you and that leaves a nice bitterness on the tounge. Some of the yeast and malts are there but nothing to make a noticable difference. Slightly above average for the style but its pointing in the right direction.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of IrishBoy. Pours a clear, warm, dark brown with a tint of red and a beige head. Fat, sweetish, caramel aroma and some roasted malt up there too. Medium body only with sweetish, roasted malt - not overly burned - with lightly sweet notes of vanilla and wood. No distinct bourbon accents really and even the bitterness is discreet. A very subtle and discreet take on the style making it mellow and easy drinking. 280907

Sample at the Lambert St. Louis airport location. The beer is a nearly opaque dark brown color with a thick and foamy light beige head that burns off slowly. Patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and milk chocolate, with a hint of mocha. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Sweet caramel malt, chocolate and grain flavors with traces of hops and coffee. The finish remains smooth (bordering on watery actually) and sweet with a lingering sweetness. Above average overall.

Sample at the Lambert St. Louis airport location (as Expedition Reserve). Clear amber-orange color with a thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of floral hops and citrus. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, citrus and toasted malt. The finish is moderately hoppy and fruity and lingers awhile. Pretty good overall.

Sample at the Lambert St. Louis airport location. This beer is a clear copper-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that has a short life span. Top ring of lace with spots underneath. Sweet caramel malt aroma with a bit of pine. Medium-bodied and smooth with a sweet bready malt character. Touches of piney hops and spice here and there as well. The finish remains sweet with a short toasted malt aftertaste. Another average beer from Schlafly, but again a welcome sight while at the airport waiting for a plane.

Draught at the Lambert St. Louis airport location. Pours a lightly hazed golden-orange color with a thin and dense ivory colored head that stays for a bit. Stringy lacing. The aroma has hints of sweet malt and hops. Medium, smooth body with a straightforward combination of nutty malt, hops and citrus flavors. The finish is on the sweet malty side with a slightly bitter hops aftertaste. Fairly non-descript EPA all around, but very welcome in an airport.
