On tap at Taps Trondheim, pours a hazy orange with a tiny head. Nose is super hot, with loads of bourbon, alcohol and paint thinner. Flavour is hot and boozy, with caramel, alcohol, and paint thinner. Some slight bourbon in there too. Not overly complex, but not offensive. Cool gimmick beer.

Orange color with small but stable white head. Candied fruits, vanilla, caramel, wood. Lots of booze, but it fits. More fruits, toffee, marmalade. Very smooth carbonation, warming. Punchy, but drinkable and good. Amazing! Gotta share even a 0.1l portion of this :D

Keg at BD Camden, 21/03/15. Lightly hazed amber with moderate beige spotting and edgework. Nose is rich drak fruit shreds, coconut shavings, candied fruit peel, wooded tones, booze fumeage. Taste comprises more booze than the nose suggested, light spice, fruit cake mix, figgy jam, dates, sticky toffee, candied orange peel, light bourbon notes. Full bodied, fine to oily carbonation, warming alocohol in the close. Solid BA BW, bourbon is well in check and this one drinks well below the ABV, good sipping action to be head.

Draught @ Fairbar, Århus. Pours golden with a offwhite head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, wood, vanilla, bourbon, sweet fruit. Flavor is rather sweet, malt, wood, vanilla, bourbon, caramel, sweet ripe fruit. Full body, average carbonation, alcohol well hidden for the ABV, but it still gives some nice warmth. 060914
