Winter’s Bourbon Cask Ale

Technically, the Winter’s Bourbon Cask Ale Limited Edition by Anheuser, the label says ale aged on bourbon barrel oak and vanilla bean. Curious? Me too. Pours light amber with a definite vanilla aroma and something else I can’t place – maybe caramel. Vanilla taste comes through very strongly fairly sweet with very weak hops. I would prefer a little more hops but just a little. I couldn’t pick up any bourbon undertones because of the vanilla. The more I drank the more annoying it became as the vanilla overpowered everything. Sorry I bought a 6 pack. Had to knock that puppy in the head and pour out 3. Yes I tried it again just in case. Just a hint of vanilla might work but not that much.
