Draught (at either Taphouse or Mikkeller Bar, notes a bit unclear on that note). Hazy amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is alcohol, some glue, a bit caramel, bluecheesy and some figs and plum to it. Flavour is sweet malts, some bourbon, oak and vanilla with mild spices, some alcohol sweetness and mild nutty elements. As it warmed up a bit the bluecheesy tones also showed up in the flavour. Very nice.

Tap at Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Deep amber color, tiny white head. Aroma is sweet with toffee and vanilla. Medium to full-bodied. Lots of bourbon, lots of vanilla. Sweet and boozy. Even a bit burning aftertaste. This is quite simple bourbon + vanilla on drugs bw.

Tap at the Taphouse, Copenhagen. Poured a hazy dark amber with a broken frothy white head. The aroma is super rich orange citrus alcohol. The flavour is rich sweet with a huge big orange marmalade burning alcohol palate. No no and no again. This not a "beer" !

Draft at Taphouse. Pours very hazy amber with an off white head. Aroma of massive cheesy sweet malt with some light fruity notes, caramel. Flavor is heavy sweet with a huge sweet boozy palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Ok for a couple of sips but undrinkable for much more..
