Bottle at the O’Hare venue. The only change here seems to be the seasonal bottle. Pale gold color, slightly hazy, with an ok white head. Light citrus aroma over pale malt. Medium minus body with mild carbonation. Flavor is light hop over light malt. More dry than not. Seems a kolsch.

Bottle: Dull copper color with a finger of creamy beige head. Aroma is rather earthy, malty, and bready. Tastes completely different than the smell. Floral, sweet, lager malts, and some dandelion. I just don’t like the malt in this. Gets to be more like premium lager than premium bitter...

12 fl oz bottle. Pours deep amber, almost clear and golden with a small, light yellowish and lasting head. Aroma is mild spiced, wooden hoppy and light fruity. Flavour has a distinct hops presence. Caramel, light spiced and fruity. Liqourice note too. Somewhat undefineable chemical touch too. Ends dry, roasted and bitter with a persisting chemical note.

35.5 cL bottle, says bourbon county brand stout 2008. Pours thick and oily, deep dark brown to pitch black with a small and yet dense and deep chocolate brown head. Solid roasted malt, mild smoked, dense dark chocolate and solid bourbon dense aroma. Thick oily and creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, heavy bitterness showing through and mixing nicely with the solid acidic and hard roasted malt flavours yet also with a smooth vanilla/oak note to briefly attempt a counter balance. Distinct alcohol/bourbon presence going into a distinct alcohol burn in the finish. Sweet, bitter and lasting roasted/chocolate and bourbon finish. Nice yet also overempowering: beer soaked in too much bourbon.

On tap at O’Hare Airport while waiting for flight. Pours a relatively clear orange-brown color, with a medium white foamy head. Aroma is floral hops, slight sweetness, touch of toasted malts. Flavor is a mild hop, light bitter, with a crisp, clean, refreshing finish. Extremely pleasant.

2008 bottle:
Pours black with a small head. Complex aroma of toffee, vanilla, bourbon and some smoke. Sweet and thick mouth feel. flavour is bourbon, toffee and liquorice. Long warming finish where the alcohol flavour shows up, but in a positive way. Usually I don’t like bourbon, but this is a wonderful beer.
