(Bottle) Reddish amber colour with brief, frothy, tan head, malty, woody nose with caramel, dark bread, red fruit, oak wood and whisky. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, toffee, dried fruit, orange peel, rye bread, red berries, oak wood, whisky and a mild spicy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Possibly a touch too much wood, but quite rich and tasty. Nice one.

Bottle ordered via Amazon. Aroma is sweet and boozy. Christmas pudding. Clear light chestnut. Practically no head. Medium bitter with a sour edge. Woody. Hints of berry sweetness. Bitterness peaks into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Again, these beers seem overwhelmed by the cask. Basic bass barrel aged stuff.
