Review and Tasting Notes of Anheuser-Bush Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale

About.com Rating 3

By Bryce Eddings, About.com

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.
