Pours black, not much head. Smell is full, peppers, bourbon, wood. No oxidation at all, even though it's 6 years old and ment to drink fresh. Taste is full, creamy, peppers still very noticable. Mild oxidation, but it does work with the beer so isn't problematic just yet. Medium heat from the peppers, in perfect balance at this point in time, so I think it might have been a bit to spicy when fresh ? Recognizable bourbon and oak, still. Very nice, held up impressively well.

Bottle @ Himmeriget. Pours oily black with a creamy mocha head that leaves plenty of spotty trace on the glass while dissiapting. Smell is malty and spicy with roasted malts, caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, charred wood, luxurious dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, smoked chilis, fruity habanero, cinnamon, toasted coconut, minerals, peppery rye whiskey alcohol and buttery bourbon alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter, malty and slightly spicy. mouthfeel is soft, creamy, oily, tiny astringent, slightly boozy and near full bodied. Finish is sweet, bitter, rich and complex. The base beer is of course great and in this case the barrel treatment is just sublime. Prominent notes of both bourbon and rye whiskey without overtaking the rich and complex base beer just adding more and more layers of tasty complexity. Pretty close to perfection!
