Tap at GTMW. Really deep fruity UK BW. Almost some cinnamon in the aroma. Mellow still carbonation. Deep and complex. Great.

Heavy, malty and intense with spicy woody notes, barrel, hints of dried fruits, prunes, figs, vanilla, amburana, cinnamon and syrup. Quite complex and elegant slow sipper

Bottle: Poured a deep brown color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt notes with some toffee notes offset by bourbon, vanilla and orange liquor notes. Taste is a mix of caramelized malt, some residual sugar notes, some toffee and a smooth finale of bourbon, vanilla and nice Grand Marnier notes. Body is full with good carbonation and some warming alcohol notes. Extremely well brewed and the barrels added layers of complexities.

Waxed 750ml. Thin brown with no head. Huge legs. Malt coconut caramel and barrel. Sweet, huge. Caramel, butterscotch. Good but needs a bit more.

Bottle, 750 ml at Miro's Grande. Shared with him and Luka. Black with almost no head. Caramel and toffee galore, dried fruit, dried figs, dates, vanilla, bit spicy, some tonka notes, nice intensive bourbon in the back and on nose, medium sweetness.
