Bottle pours out amber topped with a sand head. Nose is nice sweet caramel toffee malts and some bourbon barrel vanilla notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts caramel bourbon.

Beer #17 of my 10,00th Beer Milestone Celebration! Deep, but beautiful amber and strong brown coloured body with a slight copper glow and a nice, fast-fading just off-white head that barely shows half a centimetre at most. Aroma of nuts, earth, grain, light toffee and caramelised sugars, pitted fruits, apricots, alcohol and raisins - all quite strong with a big malt character, a strong alcohol bite and perhaps even better - a nice sweetness in the nose, at least. Full-bodied; Super rich, but relatively easy-going sugars come through with a big toffee, caramelised sugar and especially raisin bite with some lighter apricot, peach and even pear notes, but the malt and some leather and warmth from the alcohol come through with a god malt backbone that helps out both the sugars and alcohol pungency, with a strong rich earthiness and rustic quality towards the end that brings out some nice complexities. Aftertaste is strong, but nuanced with a lot of sugars, some oak, cedar and woodsie qualities, a good dash of alcohol that shows perhaps around 10 per cent and a very enjoyable earthy, rustic and mushroomy finish that brings out some nice flavours that aren't always sampled with barely wines. Overall, a pretty nice beer that really has seemed to aged well and while I wish I had another one of these that I purchased at the same time, I probably am glad I saved my $10 bill at the time. This is very nice and perhaps an optimal time to drink this if you have one around the same age (~5 years after purchased). Great to have as my 10k beer celebration of course! I sampled this 16 ounce, pint-sized (why make it this big?!?) can as Beer #17 [of 21 - 10 (for 10,000) of Each side of the 10,000 Beer Milestone and the 10,000th itself!] of my 10,000th Beer Milestone, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 09-March-2018 for US$9,99!!! with a 'best by' (it must be) date of 19-January-2019 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-June-2023.

Can - deep amber pour with a thick, sticky lace - rich whiskey nose, but it doesn’t overpower the earthy Marris Otter malt structure, which has a complex mushroom and pear character - soft texture, full body - deeply caramelized sugars, moderate spice, moderate whiskey and oak - vanilla and some bitterness late (too much bitterness, really, detracting from the malt complexity) - lingering earthy malt - I like it a lot, but that middle bitterness is a little too much, confusing the otherwise traditional British take on the style.

Tåkete brun med kremete skum. Lukter karamell, malt. Søt lys karamel, rosiner. God sødme i avslutningen.

Can at share: pours light brownish with beige head. Aroma is vanilla, bourbon, deep maltiness. Taste is lightly bitter, sweet, vanilla, whiskey. Good.

Can, at share, thanks to me. Pours dark rubescent brown. Bourbon, biscuit, raspberry, toffee, vanilla. Medium body. Tasty.

Draft. An unclear amber beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and bourbon. The flavor is sweet with notes of vanilla, caramel, alcohol, malt, and bourbon, leading to a dry finish.

Can from Yupp beer. Deep amber colour with an off white head. Aroma toffee, malty and sweet. Taste sweet. Full body.
