Adam from the Wood is our Adam aged in American Oak barrels. First released in 2000, and released again in November 2011 in 12oz bottles. This 12% beer has lots of the typical HOTD aromas: Caramel, brown sugar, tons of raisin and tobacco. Fig, date, and plum fruitiness in that order. This has a fairly strong earthy vinousness as well as oak vanilla.

Tap at Borefts. Black with some big off white bubbles. Massive bourbon, vanilla, old wood, boozy with some grappa and rum but mainly lots of old bourbon. Light chocolate underneath. Sweet with light alcoholic bitterness. Medium bodied with slick feel and very light carbonation. Bourbon bomb.

Keg at Borefts Beer Festival, De Molen, Bodegraven Friday 25th September 2015. Dark murky colour with a light beige rim, thick in mouth, boozy, chewy booziness comes back down your nose. Aroma is Pedro Ximinez. Taste is liquidised, crystallised dates. I thought that I was going to love it and I bet this is raved about but meh...not that fussed, ok. A7 A3 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2
