We are big fans of bourbon aged ale in charred American oak barrels. We take recently emptied barrels and refill them with our Winter Warmer. We then age this majestic ale for 10 weeks, resulting in a skillfully balanced, ambitious blend of dark malts and English hops, complimented by dark fruit, raisin and vanilla characteristics. The oak is very apparent, adding additional depth and complexity - yielding an ale that is large in personality. So raise a glass of holiday cheer! Previously called "End of Winter Warmer".

It pours a dark brown/ black color, with 2 fingers of off-white foam. Nice aroma centered around the bourbon, lots of sweet malts and some dark fruits like plums or cherries, the alcohol is noticeable. It tastes good but falls a little short of the aroma. The malts are not as sweet tasting as they smell, more of a bitter note to them. The bourbon is more flavorful than hot so that's a big plus. There's a little sour bite in the aftertaste like soy sauce, which doesn't seem right either but isn't exactly objectionable. Medium carbonation, slick, thin mouthfeel.

Mother Puss Bucket! Thank you Suds! Dark ruby brown beer with a nice tan top shrinking to a constant cap and ring with nice lacing. Light Bourbon aroma with a hint of oaken vanilla, some malts, and a large dose of deliciousness. Taste is creamy and whiskey with the Bourbon and light vanilla subtle but creamy freaking smooth. Excellent Winter Warmer. HUGE thanks again Suds. Damn son, you've sent some Most Excellent beers my way Brother. Impressive.

Pours a deep tan brown, medium low head, light spotty lacing .. . aromas of bourbon, wood, tobacco resin, chocolate, and stellenbosch vineyard .. . interesting mouthfeel for a barrel aged beer- it works for me at this moment in time .. .head in the clouds .. . flavours very similar to the aroma, just more bourbon .. . enjoyable hard to find stuff, my local only got one case and i could only get 2 bottles..
overall: the best made Rahr product
