[MKOB] Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale

[Michael Berman]

Anyone know where I might be able to get my hands on Quelque Chose, a unique cherry ale brewed by Unibroue?  It is generally difficult to get as they only brew a small amount of it.  I lived in Michigan for a couple years, and was able to get it right across the border in Windsor.  My wife LOVES the stuff, and I'm all about keeping her in any kind of beer she'll enjoy.

I'll admit it ... it caught my eye and I got a 6-er of it.  It's an 
Anheuser Busch product.  It's a limited edition beer called "Winter's 
Bourbon Cask Ale."  It has a snowman hoisting a pint on the label.

It's description reads "Brewed with all imported hops and aged on 
bourbon oak casks and whole madagascar vanilla beans for a smooth, 
robust taste."

This surprised me because I thought AB only made lagers.  But these days 
breweries are venturing into lots of new types of beers.  Anyway, to 
make a long story even longer ... it's a real flavorful beer.  I don't 
really get any hints of vanilla, or for that matter, notice any presence 
of oak character.  But what I do get, is a good solid brown ale, with 
very mild hoppiness (a plus in my book.)

Either way, I'm not an expert on brown ales, just figured I'd mention 
this because I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor.  Or, if you're 
into collecting beer bottles ... it's worth having a bottle with a 
snowman with a scarf, toque, sunglasses and hoisting a pint.

Cheers and I hope you and your families have a Merry Christmas, and that 
2008 grants you health and happiness.

Elvis and Gabe, New Orleans won't be the same without ya!
