UPDATED: SEP 19, 2018 Bottle shared alexsdad06. Pours reddish/brown with an average creamy off-white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Heavy complex roasted malt, toffee and sweet alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Good well balanced bourbon & brandy sweet flavor and finish of long duration. Standout brew.

UPDATED: OCT 1, 2018 750 ml bottle shared with Tmoney99 and the Dutch's crew. Pours a dark cola brown color with a small beige head. The aroma and flavor have caramel, dark fruit, bourbon, brandy, oak, big flavors, crazy balance, chocolate, the barrel character blends seamlessly with the base beer, they consistently put out quality products.

Bottle pour, enjoyed at Matt's. Thanks! And happy 7k! A dark, near black pour with a tan foam head. Very rich, boozy aroma. Mostly bourbon, though I don't have a whole lot of brandy experience. Some maple like flavor. Bourbon. Viciously sweet. Must be the brandy influence. Dark fruit. Raisin, some plum. A bit too sweet for me, but it hardly takes away from it. Interesting.

Bottle in Seattle. Rating #7000! Lingering foam ring, dark and opaque nearly black. Lovely boozy aroma, complete Alesmith character, dark fruit and cherry. Boozy barley wine, bright and in good shape, lots of raisins and booze. Lots of brandy, dark bitter leather and tobacco, sweetness up front descending in to bitterness. A great beer to sit on for a few years and open for a random milestone. Very sweet up front but it’s countered just enough by leather, tobacco and raisin at the end for me. Hints of vanilla and maple syrup, pretty sweet. Boozy alesmith but pretty typical and nice flavors. A treat, but it’s rather sweet.

Bottle. Pours hazy mahogany, small tan head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is full of dark sugars, bourbon, vanilla, cherry, oak, molasses. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter, some booze, a bit of acidity. Full body, creamy mouthfeel.

From bottle thanks to Alex, as it warms big Apple brandy notes hits the Nose, vanilla, toffee, dark caramel, oak, and slight heat from the bourbon. Full and sticky mouthfeel.

UPDATED: AUG 27, 2017 Pours hazy dark brown with a very small head. Aroma is very woody, tons of oak, bourbon, caramel, dark sugar. Taste is heavy caramel, bourbon, toffee, brandy. Amazing beer
