For my Birthday the Boyfriend got me some dead crow bourbon beer. I love crows, I love flavoured beers, so what's not to like!
It was bought from Asda (not sure of the price or if available anywhere else). It came in a pack of 4 and is 5.5%vol.

Happily enough when opened is does not smell of dead crow....well not that I know of as I don't make a habit of sniffing crows, dead or otherwise...
Anyway, on opening it smells nice and sweet, which is how I like them personally. I find most beers too bitter. If in the mood for some I like to stick to fruit ones or ones that are flavoured with mojito of tequila etc as these aren't to harsh bitter wise and not heavy either.
The taste is really nice but kinda confuses my tongue, as not tried a drink with this type of flavour before! It's pretty sweet tasting but still has some bitterness, though the sweetness helps to balance it out for me. It's also a little tangy with a kinda citrusy oranginess maybe? Not sure how bourbon like it is however. I shall have to buy a light beer and add some bourbon and see how close it is to this...for research purposes of course!
I would say if you like beers that are a bit unusual, or like them sweet and light give it a try. It's a good drink to sip outside on a warm day, although I am currently enjoying mine sitting indoors watching Bottom, which is a good way to drink it too :)
