Bottle shared@Himmeriget, Copenhagen - hazed amber brown with a off white head. Sweet and toasted malty with notes of raisin and other dried fruity accents, sweet caramel, some nice spices, medium to full body, some bourbon notes really chiming into the lingering sweet malty finish. Lovely stuff.

12oz waxed bottle pours with a murky mahogany colored body that has a thin ring of light tan bubbles. The aroma offers up rum like notes, soft bourbon, molasses and booze soaked raisins. The taste delivers smooth molasses and blunted sweet raisins as well as soft sweet bourbon. To midway a thin layer of boozy oak is noticed only adding a mild nuance to the experience. This is smooth and integrated. Not sure cellar time will improve this much. Its darn nice right now.

12 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bourbon notes, with some rye whiskey, and bready toffee. Flavour is along the same lines, with rye whiskey, bourbon barrels, and some toffee. Rather boozy and barrel-heavy, yet it has a thin boyd. Pretty good.

Hazy, light tan. A bit of raisin, and some pale malt. The soft body is nice, and the sugars aren't bad but there is little follow through. It's decent, but doesn't seem to have the complexity. There's some alcohol, and a bit of tartness, and definitely a grapey note. On further review, it's still just ok, but at least has enough raisin character to be genuinely interesting.
