Pretty nicely done. Raisin and a hint of smoky tobacco. Brandy and whiskey elements are light and we'll integrated. Dark brown pour with good head. Some florals. Light sweet finish. Bottle.

The aromas and flavors are sweet malt, raisins, Belgian beer qualities. Head disappears fast to leaving a ring. I don't pick up any brandy or bourbon characteristics.

Opaque dark amber colour. Moderate malt depth, moderate sweetness, the barrel is really evident, not surprisingly the bitterness is almost absent.
Nice, simple.

Bottle (2019 release) from Bert's Better Beers. Appearance is cloudy, very dark red-brown with mist of fine, dark particulates, no sparkle, thin cap of fizzy beige head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong mix of caramel, fig, dark fruits and milder bourbon. Taste follows aroma but greater depth of fig, dark fruit and caramel; milder bourbon and addition of brandy. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with thick, smooth texture, average carbonation, mild alcohol warmth that takes a bit of time to evolve and finish as taste. Overall, nicely balanced and rich aroma and flavors.
