On tap at the Founders 15th Anniversary Party, into a snifter.

Pale golden yellow with spotty lace, and very mild retention. Nose of watered down bourbon and a bit of butterscotch. Taste is bready, with some butter/butterscotch, and bourbon - all demolishing the underlying pale ale. Slightly watery feel and lightly sticky. Not a bad beer, but dominated by bourbon barrel character and not something I'd revisit.

Serving type: on-tap

Look at it this way: a PBR with a shot of whiskey is the poor man's version of this delicious beer.

Thin lacing with a clear, straw colored body.

Smells of sweet liquor, bread.

The bourbon sweetness dominates, but notes of hops and toast nicely compliment the bourbon. Thin mouthfeel, but the complex flavors make up for it. I hope they bottle this someday.
