Thanks to Beer Savant for sharing bottle #138/204. The beer pours a hazy brownish-orange color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, bourbon and citrusy hops. Medium to full body with an oaky bourbon character and notes of malt, vanilla and herbal/piney hops. The finish is hoppy up front with an oaky and malty aftertaste. Pretty good beer overall.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and wood. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, wood, and spices, leading to a dry finish. The combo doesn’t work for me.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of anders37. Bottle # 165/204. Pours a cloudy golden with an off-white head. Lovely aroma of Bourbon and citrusy hops. Juicy body, sweet fruitiness - actually the unusual blend of aroma hops and Bourbon comes out as very exotic fruits. Some licorice allsorts. Hoppy almost astringent finish. 290311

Bottle thanks to Stfun; shared at John’s tasting. Pours gold with white head. Nose of strong fresh pineapple, bubblegum, citrus, honey, barrel and caramel malt. Taste follows suit with the same flavor. Tiny hint of bourbon in the finish. Tasty brew.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery during the 5th anniversary party. Poured a hazy gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was earthy in both hops and barley with a subtle backing bourbon note. Flavor was earthy malts with minimal hops and the bourbon coming out in the finish.
