On tap @ Rattle N Hum. This is a deeper copper brownish looking one, almost cola brown and mildly cloudy with a small softly lacing beigeish head. Smells like burnt sugar, burnt sweet raisins, woody darkness and some marzipan liquor. Strange stuff really, but I somehow dont hate it. Tastes really good actually. Its chocolate fudge sweet, lots of raisins and darker sweet fruits. Again, it has a rum or almost liquor thing going on in the taste. Soft on the carbonation and its mild oily on the texture. Overripe strawberry both sweet and sourness in the finish before it turns more woody and with hints of sweet cognac and spicy whisky. Grows on you after a while in the glass. 21.06.2015

Draught @ Ginger Man. Dark brown with svery small beige foamy head, very little whisky aroma, low carbonation, sweetish whisky dominated caramel taste, longish finish with alcohol aftertaste. Quite strong but smooth.

On tap at the Bistro BA festival. Pours really dark amber with a beige head. A sort of warm honey aroma. Flavor is slightly malty with light oak/vanilla. It drinks really well. Just excellent.

Draft. Mahogony beer with a cream colored head. Malt aroma. Malt and plum flavors with toffee and light barrel (bourbon) notes. Medium bodied. Plum and toffee lingers with light bourbon and very light banana.
