7/22/15. Lightly hazed copper pour with a small khaki head, decent lacing. Rich aroma, oaky, light bourbon, lots of vanilla, some sweet toasted caramel, but not in a bad way. Nice flavor, oaky, lots of vanilla, sweet toasted caramel. Nice!

Westmeister (2111) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - JUL 19, 2015
2015 bottle. Deep caramel colored pour with medium off white head. Smell is sweet fruity, a tad tropical, vanilla, caramel. Wow. The bouquet here is boomasticly awesome, hint of booze. Taste is deep caramel, fruity, slight butter toffee, booze is mostly hidden, vanilla. Quite tasty and a lovely sipper.

mixmasterob (988) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - JUL 15, 2015
2015 bottle. Murky brown pour with a quickly fading beige head. Left light lace. Aroma was deep, dark fruits, lots of caramel, touch of hazelnut, vanilla, good punch of bourbon. Flavors followed suit, caramel, big bourbon, vanilla, bready, roasty malt, lingering bittersweet finish. Super well rounded and smooth from top to bottom. Moderation carbonation with a plus mouthfeel. Can’t say anything bad about this one. Easily the best offering from BHB I have tried. Outstanding. Would love to try it without the barrel treatment.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2015 Bottle shared by Renee. Pours a hazy amber with a layer of beige head. Aroma and taste of heavy wood, vanilla, booze, and caramel.

8oz pour from Mickeys. Rugged thick barrel tones. Unfiltered burgundy brown body. Massive beer, but the barrel takes some dimension away from it instead of adding to it. Rich, rugged. Deep, dark, fruity notes...but even more caramel. A beast, but forgettable, a touch syrupy.

Bottle. From notes. This was shared by zac from Olympic. Apparently the brewers rolled through town. Loads of vanilla, caramel and bourbon. I would absolutely love to try more from these guys.

Appearance: Served up a deep, rust-colored brown body with a slim, bubbly, bone white head.

Smell: Heavy, intoxicating (I can fully confirm this) nose of, well, bourbon, brown sugar, caramel sauce, toasted bread, faint vanilla sugar, middling fruitiness, and more bourbon. I approve.

Taste: Nails the tongue with a wallop of rich, malty sweetness. Carrying over from the nose is the brown sugar, caramel, but also honey and almond syrup over a moderately toasty malt base. Faint raisin. Then, a wash and wave of bourbon that, when considering the sweetness, has a bottled bourbon glaze quality. Sweet, succulent finish with lingering typos, drunk dialing, and stupors.

Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium-light carbonation.

Overall: An impeccable brew that should be considered a full meal by itself. It makes for a great midday pick-me-up. Friends, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running after a few ounces of this.
Earlier Rating: 4/22/2012 Total Score: 4
Appearance: Moderately hazed body, the color of dark sandalwood capped by a scant, fine, off-white head. Hey, check out those legs!

Smell: Heavy, sweet-scented aroma of salted caramel sauce over toasted grains with hints of orange peels (both sweet and bitter), pureed sultanas, light-colored brown sugar, and American oak with some cutting, jutting traces of alcohol.

Taste: Caramel, brown sugar, and the crusty tops of crème brûlée. Richly sweet, seductively sweet. Golden raisins, sweet morningtime marmalade, and a faint fluttering of florals. There’s a firm creepy uncle-like pinch of hop bitterness, but also a noted kick of alcohol. Mild oaky tannins, touch of vanilla-flavored sugar, and a lightly toasted coconut shreds. Sweet, malty finish with plenty of warming alcohol.

Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium carbonation.

Overall: A considerably potent beverage! It’s not quite hot, but it’s definitely got some heat to it, but it’s substantial body and dessert-like qualities make it a fine, slow-sipper.
