Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, wood, and alcohol, as well as light notes of smoke. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of caramel and malt as well as lighter notes of alcohol, wood, smoked malt, leading to a dry lightly smoky finish.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is whiskey and wood - too much for me, combined with notes of plastic and phenol. The flavor has notes of plastic, phenol, dust, and alcohol. By far the worst of the series.
