750 ml bottle shared by a friend. Hazy golden orange with off-white head. Aromas of whiskey, tropical fruit, stone fruit, light acetone. Tastes of raspberry jam, tropical and stone fruit, floral notes, some whiskey. Medium body with a dry finish. Raspberry flavor is nice but I’m not sold on the barrel combination.

75 cl Bottle [from local swap worldwide edition thanks to nimbleprop] @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Joes. Clear orange to amber color, medium sized off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is a bit weird, on the one hand you get a touch of hops but on the other hand it’s.. it’s..I don’t know, but it’s weird. Taste lightly malts, lightly hops, lghtly wood, a hint of rye, slightly a hint of raspberry. Decent body and carbonation.

750ml bottle pours a clear ruby red with some creamy, white head. Nose has a bit of raspberry, some booze, a little windex, mild candlewax. Flavor has berries, windex, soap, candlewax. Oily finish. Should have just soured this damn thing.
