Can thanks to BillyT..it pours hazy deep reddish - brown with a small khaki head. The aroma is sweet, oily, toffee, fudge, vanilla, juicy, candy and toasted brown sugars. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty grain, brown bread, earthy, woody, nutty, toasted brown sugars, bourbon soaked oak, vanilla, punchy, slick, oily, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, toasted fruit cake and some spice with a drying finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. Big and filthy. Like the balance to it.

Fat på Brewskival, lördag. Mörkbrun, murken med smutsbeige krona. Murrig och maffig BW med typiska toner av knäck, torkad frukt, mörkt socker som möter upp snygga fattoner med bourbon, vanilj och lite kokos. Stor och kladdig. Mycket gott.

Bottle shared during the RBWG 2015 Grand Tasting. Pours cloudy amber with a tan cream head. Boozy, with lots of ripe fruits, sugary bread, berried. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary on the finish with notes of brown bread, more ripe fruits, alcohol, old wood. Not bad.
