A ridiculous cost of $25 for this beer. Aroma has cheap rye whiskey, which is also present in the flavor. Hazy brown. Rich malt and some earth. Dry, with scarcely any hops. Unfortunately the bourbon is not well done, and I think it really hurts the beer.

Bottled 1/246. A murky amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, over ripe fruits, bourbon, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel, alcohol, and a bit of wood, leading to a dry alcoholic finish where the wood lingers. The alcohol burns in the mouth. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Hazy red brown color; small head. Strong vanilla oak aroma, old wood. Medium body strength, good caramel flavor, with some residual sweetness and light smoke touch; lightly nutty too, mostly in the final; the alcohol gives a warming feeling. Good.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Retorp. Bottle # 1/246. Hazy orangey golden with a small, off-white head. Distinct aroma of bourbon and ashes. Solid body, sweet caramel, nuts and ashes, vaguely peaty. Hardly any bitterness in the finish, but warming alcohol and Bourbon. Certainly appears stonger than 8.5%. 220909

750 mL bottle... #214/246. Courtesy of tarheels86. Pours a hazy dark brown color with not much of a head. The aroma is sublime. Caramel, toffee, leafy hops, vanilla, maple, bourbon, faint smokiness, booze and green apple. Taste is caramel, toffee, bourbon, wood, faint smoky notes, leafy hops, something faintly cheesy. Full bodied and very smooth. The regular Big Sound is a phenomenal beer but the bourbon works with this too well. This is epic. Fantastic beer.
