Draft at the brewpub. Nose is grainy wheat and yeastiness; no fruit esters I could detect. Murky white gold with a medium glass lacing white head. Flavor was light pepperiness and grainy yeast. My daughter loved this and took home a growler. Not estery enough for me.

Draft at the brewpub! Nose of cloves, nutmeg, bananas, wheaty grain, and yeast. Murky yellow with a medium yellow tinged head with lightly laces the glass. Flavor of whet, bananas, spiciness, and very light bitterness. Finishes with a slight tinge of alcohol warmth. Can’t wait for the barrel aged version!

22oz bottle–pours a foamy light tan head that laces and hazy amber color. Aroma is citrus-grapefruit/lemon, peach, some sweet light malt. Taste is citrus-grapefruit/lemon with some bitter, some herbal/mineral, peach, back bone of light/medium malt-caramel. OK effervescence. Some English character. Enjoyable. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small white head that fades over a clear auburn body. Aroma is herbal and spicy hops. Taste is bitter, earthy/herbal hop notes, tea, jasmine, and caramel. Lively carbonation, dryish mouthfeel.

Growler from the brewpub. Nose very hoppy with floral, ivy, pine, and citrus notes. Lightly hazy orange-copper with a medium, glass-lacing, offwhite head. Flavor is bitter with pine, and some background caramel. Pretty nice hoppy stuff for a single IPA!

Draft at the brewpub!! Nose of light bourbon (really heavenly smell of bourbon not the cheap and overdone smell some other BB stouts have), chocolate, and light caramel. Black with a semi hazy brown edge and a medium glass lacing beige head of tiny bubbles. Flavor of chocolate, bourbon, and more chocolate. Body is medium thick and creamy. Finish is light bourbon flavor without the alcohol heat. My favorite KRB beer so far! Dec 12 09 18 months in the barrel now and on draft at the brewpub! Still great and even more Heavens Hill Bourbon especially in the flavor. Great stuff! Too bad it’s almost all gone!

Growler from the brewpub! Nose iwith caramel and notes of corriander, vanilla, toffee, and some light floral hops. deep copper with a medium, nicely lacing beige head. Flavor has light bitterness, corriander, and caramel with a light background touch of honey. Finish is a light bitterness and corriander. I just can wait for the BA pinot noir version to come out of the barrels! And what a session brew this would make if I could get it all the time at 5.2% ABV!
