3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 skmikeg (1410) - Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA - SEP 12, 2015
Pours light amber with a thin tan head which fades to just a little lacing. Aroma is of tequila, oak, vanilla, caramel, sweet malts, light booze, and light citrus. Taste is about the same as the aroma with maybe a little pine and a a little grass. Has a medium body with a semi watery mouthfeel and a slightly bitter, slightly boozy as it warms, long finish. Overall, a somewhat decent strong ale that is a little too boozy and sweet.
3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 jgb9348 (5179) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - SEP 7, 2015
Super clear light amber body with a ruby glow and a super deep copper tint - very nice, all with a smallish, two centimetre tall tan head that leaves a rather ugly lace. Aroma of alcohol, malt, pit fruits, raisins and some oak as well of course. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong alcohol bite at first with a deep oak and vanilla flavour showing some depth and a smooth sweetness along with a little malt at the finish. Aftertaste shows mostly an oaky and vanilla flavour coupled with the boozey tastes and a thin malt note, some light sweetness and little else - fairly bland, actually and very thin. Overall, a surprisingly bland and weak beer with a very deep flavour from the barrels, but thats about it. Neat to try, but not worthwhile unless you really love Jose Cuervo and/or just want everything from Flying Fish. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-July-2015 for US$8,00 sampled at home in Washington on 06-September-2015.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 BillWyce (868) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 9, 2015
Pours hazy orange-amber, with a creamy and tight 1-finger off-white head. Caramel aroma quickly gives way to a peppery, citrusy note. Full body, with a moderate oily thickness. An astringent dryness in the finish. Flavor of caramel malt with a significant note of citrus hops. Underneath are notes of vanilla oak and agave that linger in the finish.

750ml of a bad idea come to life. Poured an alright looking clear reddish amber body with an average sized foamy light beige head. Aroma is okay, malty and grainy mostly, amber malts, toast, light barrel, corn husk and lime. Palate has some noticeable tequila heat on the back end that is off putting. Flavor is a big no, tequila is obvious throughout and not in a good way. Grains, toast, cream, rotting limes and loads of tequila. Meh, should of bought the Boulevard instead.

I liked the tequila notes more than I thought I would. Pours amber with a red tint. The aroma has the malts and a hint of the barrel. The flavor has the vanilla and wood giving it a nice depth. Much more noticeable as it warms.

Bottle. Brown pour with tan head. Tequila, roasted, spice, herbal and fruit aromas. Oak, spice, fruit, light tequila, agave tones. Kind of harsh warm.
