The Bottom Line
This is one of Anheuser-Busch's seasonal brews. The label describes it as aged on bourbon oak casks and vanilla beans for "smooth, robust taste." I don't think that I'd agree with robust but it's an interesting beer nonetheless.
Pros
- Smooth, full mouthfeel
Cons
- Too much vanilla
Description
- Winter Seasonal Specialty Ale aged on vanilla beans and bourbon barrel oak
- 6.0% ABV
- Tastes A Lot Like Cream Soda
Guide Review - Review and Tasting Notes of Anheuser-Bush Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale
Anheuser-Busch's Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale is clear and copper colored with touches of amber. The head appears dense but quickly falls. The nose is faint with hints of vanilla and a strange hard liquor quality. Vanilla dominates the flavor which finishes with a slight hops bite. It has a smooth mouthfeel that couples nicely with the vanilla flavor.
