Can - dark amber pour with moderate lace - low carbonation in the mouth, with a creamy texture - rich malt structure and warm woody barrel throughout, with notes of vanilla and coconut - high abv is masked well, but is just warming enough - dark fruit and caramelized sugars - earthy whisky notes - brined cherry - finish is long and warm - really nice and balanced for something so strong.

Drunk 9/15/2023.
Clear, dark amber. Small, light-tan head.
Great barrel with big vanilla, black pepper and soft bourbon spice. Sweet, succulent, caramel malts. Very English with an American bourbon character giving it a big jolt. No booze noted.
Soft, juicy, fruity with big vanilla and marshmallow-graced caramel and toffee. Succulent, juicy, soft. At this point there's still pepper, lead, spice, mild barrel tannin to balance. But no alcohol. Could use a bit more dryness in the overall balance, but the flavor is dry, earthy, fruity, crusty, bready and juicy.

Burk öltest Wilhelmshill med Patte. Doftar massor av bourbon. Torkade frukter fikon o dadlar o massor av bourbon. God riktigt god när den svalnar något blir den sötare precis på gränsen av vad som är ok. Bra öl

Burk kl 14.00 på wilhemshill med PQ. Här har vi bourbon 👏👍. Sajt dadlar och fikon . Mycket god . Varför inte bättre betyg då ? Jo snabbt blev den sötare och sötare när den stått några minuter . Ja sötare betyder ju inte alltid bättre .

Aromas are dark malt, molasses, roast, dark ripe fruit. Flavors are similar to nose, more sweet than bitter with modest carbonation. A little bit of booze in the finish. Good but not great.

Malm� October tasting (14/10/2023) - toasted sweet malty with layers of caramel and toffee, dried fruit shred, full body, brown sugar, vanilla and bourbon coalesce into the sweet malty finish. Gorgeous.
