Looks rather murky and flat. Aroma has lots of Bourbon whiskey and booze. Very silky and smooth. Warming. Lots of vanilla in the aftertaste. Perhaps a bit too boozy but still very nice.

Tap at Borefts ’15. Pours cloudy brown with a medium beige head. Aroma of massive boozy bourbon and woody barrel notes upfront, with vanilla, overripe dark fruits, chocolate and sweet toffee. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with alcoholic warmth in the palate and soft carbonation. Good and fun to try, but so boozy!

@Borefts 2015, dag 2 van tap, wou deze dag beginnen met een licht biertje... verkeerde genomen van de tap... was dus gelijk met beide benen weer op de grond na dag 1... donker bruin en nagenoeg kraagloos. aroma van zoete bourbon, graan, erg alcoholisch, vanille, maar gewoon erg lekkere bourbon man... smaken zijn zoet, alcohol, mooie zachte zoete complexe bourbon van de heaven hill, lijkt wel wat op een barley wine, maar zeg wat een heerlijke smaken in dit bier zeg... erg smooth, lekker over barrel aged van de bourbon, gelukkig vind ik dat héérlijk...

Tap @ Borefts ’15, small sample. Slight hazy copper color, short head. Aroma is quite boozy, some caramel and molasses, bourbon, oak wood, slight vanilla. Quite sharpish alcoholic taste, bit thin caramel sweetness. Barrel is quite overwhelming and balance is lost a bit. I expected more to be honest.
