Bottle at home. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, Bourbon, oak, dried fruits, toffee, marzipan, candy sugar, raisins, butterscotch, syrup. Flavour is quite sweet and sugary sticky with a touch of booze. Body is above medium. Intensely sweet with a huge sweet caramel syrup toffee Bourbon aroma, a very nice slow sipping beer. A satisfying less heavy sequel to the original Weer & Wind.

Bottle from Belgium. Pours ruby amber with a small creamy head. Massive bourbon, caramel and dried fruit. Full bodied. Scent, just, of alcohol. Big sipper! Tannins.

Bottle @ home, kept for 2 years apparently. Clear deep ruby brown color. Small light beige head with short retention. Aroma's: sweet, ripe fruit. Retronasal: sweet, fruit, toffee, boozy, bourbon, vanilla. Flavor is heavy sweet with some barrelish woody notes. Fairly strong alcohol feel. Syruppy mouthfeel. Long finish. Very nice, especially as dessert.

Sample from 33 cl bottle at De Molen Barrel Madness, at Biererei Bar & Vintage Cellar, Berlin, July 24. Vintage 2016. Very sweet, rich beer, the bourbon barrel is very good in this beer.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, bourbon, wood and vanilla. Pours hazy dark brown color with thin totally diminishing tan-like head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with heavy sweet caramel and toasted malt, follows by dried fruit and vanilla, mouthfeel is warming alcoholic, while finish is mild grassy bitter. Full body, sticky texture and average carbonation in palate. Good for here and there, but not that I’m thrilled with it...

Bottle. Pleasant reddish-amber color, noisy yellow foam. Aroma: sweet, vanilla, bourbon and dried fruits, a bit of halva, plum wine or sherry. Taste: ambrosia, whiskey, raisins and figs, candied fruits, vanilla, warming, excellent!

Bottle kindly shared by Pilsnertest, many thanks! Dark, hazy, copper color with small,light brown head. Heavy caramel, molasses, toffee and some grass. Pretty sweet but it works beautifully, A bit of a boozy kick towards the end, but hides ABV dangerously. Great beer!
