3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Cybercat (4180) - Georgia, USA - JUL 15, 2015
Pours clear chestnut with a very thick and frothy eggshell head. It just wouldnt stop fizzing, so be prepared if you get this in a bottle! Aroma has an overtone of whisky-infused wood and notes of malt, vanilla and fruit. Flavor starts with a malt core and adds woody, hoppy, vanilla, smoky and fruity notes for a unique and pleasing experience. Body and fizz are average, but it still goes down very nicely. Ride the moustache!

12oz bottle shared. Poured an amber color with off white head. Aroma is whiskey, caramel notes, toffee, and hints of vanilla. The flavor is more if the same. There doesnt seem to be a good balance here. Whiskey on the front and back. The middle you get a mess of combined caramel, toffee and like an oil slick of vanilla. That vanilla hangs on the back end.

Draft at Dutchs. Pours a clear amber color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have caramel malts, slight buttery toffee, light whiskey, very little vanilla character. OK, but I am not the biggest fan of barrel aged low abv beers.

On tap at Dutchs. Clear red - amber color. Thin off-white head. Dots of lace. Lighter, kind of crisp carbonation. Light dry finish. Medium-plus body. Caramel malt, kind of toasty, and some whiskey. Not bad, but not the perfect blend. Just a hint of vanilla in the finish. Moderate sweet taste, mild bitter, mild some whiskey warmth on the end. An decent barrel-aged amber.
