Vanilla Bourbon poured a  dark brown, blackish color with a pen width, dark tan head.  The nose is dominated by an overwhelming amount of vanilla.  The body is smooth, with little carbonation; cola-like with a big malt base, and chocolate and coffee notes.  The finish is a little off putting and dominated by lots of sugar residue.  Overall, this beer is disappointing.  The alcohol runs wild and there is just way to much going on with no balance.  There is too much sugar and the vanilla, cola and bourbon notes give the beer a "vanilla rum and coke" taste.    

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
