Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are vanilla, bourbon, wood, caramel and notes of hops. Terrible idea to barrel an IPA. Totally destroys the hop character. And doing it in bourbon barrels is just a double mistake.

Lemon nose with coriander only in the background. Cloudy amber, thin head. Yikes! This is hot! The presence of fusel alcohol obliterates everything else. Among the vapors, there are curacao, triple sec, and lemon pound cake notes. Finishes with musk melon. This could be a decent beer, but the alcohol is out of control for what this is. That is not to say that there shouldn’t be imperial wits, as some have said. There are great examples of the style, but this really isn’t one of them.

Bomber from the old Whole Foods Market Charlottesville, meaning I’ve had this one at least 9 months. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toffee, toasted malts and citrus. The taste is toffee, caramel, toasted malts, citrus, berries and a hoppy finish. Medium bodied with faint oxidation notes... more than it should have at this point.

Bomber from Beer Run. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a thin fizzy white head. Decent head retention. Big citrus notes in the aroma along with coriander, other spice, and yeast. The taste is sweet and tart citrus notes with a spicy finish. Medium bodied. A bit like a citrus bomb. Meh.
