Bottle thanks to McNeillR. Appearance - amber to copper. Thin fawn head. Nose - wood, vinous and light booze. Taste - dry wood but still quite a sweetness like a spiced cake. Dried fruit too but very dry. Palate - medium bodied with a very dry middle and finish. Overall - past its best but with signs of past greatness.

Bottle from Wine Rack, Leeds. Black-brown no head. The whisky influence is strong in both aroma and taste and gives it a porter-like character. There’s a sweetness throughout the ale.

330ml bottle. Clear, copper-ish brown colour with small, ceamy, fairly lasting and lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, fruity, hoppy aroma has notes of red berries, cherries, a yoghurt touch, cautious malty, milk chocolate background. Taste is initially slightly sweet malty and fruity hoppy, seemingly in close correspondence to the aroma, but before you can take time for further reflection upon that issue immediately and thoroughly erased; substitution takes place by oak, leather and vanilla notes of BA. Inharmonious, overdone BA.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s pad, thanks to LKS, 24/10/14. Hazed chestnut brown with moderate beige spotting and edgework. Nose is bourbon, light roast, toasty notes, toffee, light booze, spice. Taste comprises more bourbon notes, toffee, woody rinse, spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a hint of booze. Ok drinkable affair but pretty simplistic for a BA impy.

Bottle shared in London - sourced from BeerMerchants. Pours deep brown with a bubbly tan head. The nose has some old bread, cocoa, earth. Medium sweet flavor, some sugary dark malts, dusty cocoa dried berries. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with a bit more cocoa, toasted wood, slight earthy bitterness, mild alcohol, faint raisins. So so.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours deep brown with a small light tan head. The nose is smooth, roasty, earth, vanilla, whisky, honey, toffee, candy and marshmallow. The taste is bitter, earthy, toasty, ashy, charred wood, mild whisky, light astringency and medicinal feel. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nose is rather better than the taste. OK.

Bottle at Craig’s. Hazy brown, no head. Aromas of light whisky, spice, berries. Taste is more of the same. More rounded than the world’s end, fuller body.

Almost clear amber - brown beer, few tan bubbles for a head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, very light carbonation. Mildly bitter toffee - malt, quite light. Tangy fruits, cranberry. Light mellow whisky. Light dry finish with bitter woody whisky linger. Kinda works but the body needs more bones.
