Hazy and amber. Sort of toasty. Decent malt, light bourbon, some alcohol, clashing with the base. Bourbon ESB is an odd combo, but it doesn't not work.

Can pour at Barrel Fest, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma has an odd bourbon barrel presence, bready malt, and some English notes. Flavour has plenty of dry bready malt, somewhat hot bourbon, and some toasted English malt. Odd concept, executed alright. Decent.

Bottle pour at Barrel Fest 2025. Pours murky dark gold with a white head. Bready malts and bourbon on the nose. Flavour has bourbon and a thin malt base; dry finish. This is a weird idea, not done horribly, but still not a good idea.
