Bottle split at L6 Tasting, thanks to LKS, 21/03/19. Light cap formed of tan bubbles that soon dissipate edgeward. Nose is chocolate, spice, toffee, cinnamon bark, rye notes. Taste comprises mellow barrel, chocolate, spice, rye tones, bourbon, toffee, light roast. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying clos with a rising bourbon kiss. Decent.

Bottle shared in London - picked up at Mother Kelly's, Bethnal Green. Pours black-brown with a moderate, foamy tan head. Nice depth, plenty of pleasant cinnamon, graham crackers, chocolate, background roast, low bitterness, a little molasses. Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. A little sticky sweet in the finish, more chocolate, toasted cinnamon, alcohol warmth, more molasses. Great fun overall.

Draft at Lost & Found. Poured a pitch black color. Aroma was light roasted malts, some rye spice character. Sweetness is a bit muted here. Light spices, bold roast. Okay.

Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo GBS share. Thanks Matthew! Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of foam that lingers, then dissipates. Whisky forward nose with some chocolate and cookie notes. Peppery rye and spicy ginger on the palate. Body is a bit thin compared to the other variants. More chocolate, spice and lingering peppery flavors on the finish. Some whisky heat on the finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Rye Barrel GBS (Gingerbread Stout) on 24 Mar 2018 at 18:37 - Score: 8
