After being a little under the weather and a severe weather watch, I thought it would be a perfect night for a new taster. Tonight I am trying Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale put out by Anheuser Busch. I'll have to admit I only bought it because of the cool snowman on the front but this beer is well worth the less than $6 I paid for it. Winter's Bourbon is a smooth red-deep copper color with next to no head retention at all. The aroma is awesome for a mass produced beer though. It has a sweet almost "warm" baking aroma of vanilla and malt. This is the second seasonal draught put out by AB and at this rate I'll keep buying!! Made by aging the beer on bourbon barrel oak chips and whole Madagascar vanilla beans. The 6% abv doesn't hurt either.
