750ml bottle (thx, Robert G.!) at Alex’s in honor of my birthday and CPA PREP finish. Vintage 2015. Pours a dark brown with beige head. Aroma is sweet, dark fruits, bourbon, woody, and booziness. Taste is chocolate, oily, still hot, dark fruits, slightly buttery, bourbon. Despite it is still boozy, I love it and it is a very nice sipper.

Massive barrel aroma. Unfiltered brown amber caramel color. Foamy oily spiral head. Massive chewy caramel bourbon candy notes. Luscious. Viscous. Boozy, but really well done.
Ziek, zoet, zwaar. Goed spul!

Bottle [2013] @ weekly tasting shared with Joes and Dutchdrebus to celebrate the fact that the cast which has been on my left leg since March 4th (55 days ago) was removed today.. Thank god for that. I know I have a long way to go as far as full recovery goes, but I’m so happy that the cast is gone. Also, thanks to all RB friends who have wished me well during this period. It was and still is really really appreciated. -- [Rating] Nice deep dark red-brown color, small off-white head. Aroma is malts, nice bourbon. Taste malts, again firm bourbon, sweet, dark fruits, raisins, some alcohol, caramel and brown candy sugar. Full body, slow drinker, average to moderate carbonation. Heavy, full and a very very nice beer. Lovely.

Bottle @ benzai. Dark brown colour with no head. Smells sweet, cloyingly sweet, plums, malts, alcohol. Tastes appelstroop, sweet, toffee.. Amazingly deep. Kinda hits ypu like a hammer though. Feel like I need a nap after every two sips. Full body, soft carbo. --- Beer merged from original tick of Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy - Scotch Ale - Bourbon Barrel on 03 Nov 2023 at 02:10

Bottle, shared with BBGTC. Pours hazy, dark maroon, with a creamy off white head. Aroma is sweet roasted malts with bread, toffee and heather, as well as cocoa and leather. Full body, with soft carbonation. Flavour is sweet roasted malts with bread, cocoa, leather and wood, as well vanilla and muscovado. Lingering sweet malty finish. Very drinkable, and nicely balanced.

18.02.2016, 0,75l bottle shared @ BBGTC tasting:
Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is very mild and balanced, yet it?s not a wow experience; weeds, dark malts, vanilla, minerals, oak, chocolate, caramel, nuts, bark, dark sugar. Taste is slightly dry boozy, weeds, dark malts, minerals, caramel, chocolate, oak, vanilla, alcohol, nuts, mild bourbon. Medium bitterness, slightly mineraly mouthfeel. Nice and very balanced, but not fantastic...

75 cl bottle (from an IP trade with richiesd) @ home, shared with caesar, borresteijn & MarcodL. Pours a deep brown color. Off white head, short retention. Aroma’s: full on bourbon, sweet, vanilla, caramel, really nice. Flavor is sweet, a bit boozy, hints of marzipan. Fairly strong alcohol feel and rather full bodied. Long finish. Wonderful, much nicer than the base beer.

Bottle, courtesy of PotjeBier. Thanks! Delicious aroma of strong bourbon vanilla and a little raisin, I could sniff this for hours. Rich taste of earth vanilla, subtle bourbon booze, caramel and some malt body. Fantastic beer.
