7.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Poured from 650mL bottle (bottled December 2017). Dark brown with light beige head. Raisin, bourbon, vanilla, a little thin. Definitely overrated.

650ml on Phill's deck. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: lots of barrels, some apples. Taste: along the same lines, lots of barrel, quite thin for 12.8%. Overall: pretty good.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small tan head. Nose is full of dark dried fruits and oak barrels. Flavour is quite boozy, with intense bourbon, oak, booze, and dark dried fruits. That's a lot of booze, without much of a body. This is way overrated—how is this 100-100 (at the time of rating)? Good but nothing more.

Big bottle kindly shared by Finn. Small sized beige head leaving dotted spots on the glass. Dark brown body with ruby, shades. Inviting smell of vanilla oak and chocolate. Similar taste profile of oak, vanilla and chocolate biscuit, warming bourbon towards a lingering finish, slightly roasted. Well bodied slow sipper. (Tromsø 18.01.2020).

Delt med MrSoul og Rune. Svarrt. Middels høyt mokkafarget tett skum som daler sakte. Lett bourbonaroma. Smaken litt lakris - men whiskypreget dominerer. Etterhvert kommer det fram litt eik & vanilje. Tørr alkoholpreget avslutning.

Dark brown color. Lots of bourbon, chocolate and oak. Too distracted to give a proper review, but a decent brew.

This is for the unblended 12.8% abv version, on tap at the brewery, courtesy of Jos, thank you sir! Pours hazy brown with a large fluffy beige head. Aroma has vanilla, figs, burnt caramel, toffee, bourbon. Taste is rich creamy vanilla, dark plums, prunes, raisins, dates, toffee. Hides its strength well. Delicious.
