Aged really well. Like a Barleywine with a subtle hint of cherry.

Been a few years since I’ve had one of these. It’s still pretty sweet, so it’s a slow sipper. Still has a lot of heat that’s leaves a warm sensation in the back of the throat. While I far prefer their Barleywine over this, it’s decent.

All booze, very hot, sweet. Still shouldn’t be part of the Bourbon County series, imho.

More chocolate than orange now. Still good.

Definitely starting to show its age and the orange has changed a bit, but there’s plenty orange left and the base beer shines through beautifully.

Still tons of orange. Super dark, chocolatey, malty, and sticky on the lips. I hope they make this again someday.

Orange is still strong at the front. Holding up well.

This one seems to have lost a bit of carbonation and the Orange has faded a bit. I bought this one more recently so maybe not stored well.

Nice flavor, crisp, light, refreshing with a hint of wheat. Slightly less bitterness would be better, but it’s not enough to be offensive.

Even though I just bought this a week ago, they can say it was made in December. I don’t know if it went bad or if it’s just weird and bad. Hard to describe the flavor. Gotta drain pour.

Very nice taste and refreshing.

Tastes like a Barleywine.

Shared in line at Hicksville Beer & Soda on Black Friday. Holding up very well.

Getting lots of bourbon notes with a subtle flavor of chocolate and finishes with slightly tart cherry. Sadly that ends up leaving bitterness on the palate. Not bad, but not my favorite.

This has good much richer in intensity of flavor, and particularly the cola, which I felt was incredibly subtle when fresh. I still don’t think it’s worth $1 more than the base and it’s still not my favorite.

Better than I remember when trying it fresh. The cola is still subtle, but it’s a nice variation on the base. I still do taste a bit of orange, but the finish differs from Midnight Orange, in that there’s no chocolate. Not my favorite, but still decent.
