Tasting at Matt's; 12.8% ABV
Cloudy amber color. The aroma is very cheesy, Brie and Gorgonzola, maybe some fruit. Strong body, moderately sweet, lean malt background, then resiny hops, some orangey hops, a lot of booze, burning but it seems to be a thing.
Very messy, not bad.

Bottle - Tons of raw barrel notes. Clear copper with s small white head. Woody and bitter with a long finish.

Dull, tan. Bubbly head. The bourbon barrel is pretty pronounced on the nose. On the palate, the bourbon is pretty pronounced, lots of sugar, some vague hops - bitterness is there but it's kind of drowned out by the bourbon. Alcohol is fairly strong. It's not bad, but not super composed. More like a big, fun, mess.

22 oz. bottle, pours a murky brownish orange with a small off-white head. Aroma reveals lots of whiskey barrels, lots of caramel malts, and resinous hops. Flavour is very boozy, with tons of whiskey, alcohol, subdued resinous hops, and caramel malts. Very hot and messy. It's not offensive, but it's harsh and messy.

Draft 9 oz pour at The Brewmaster’s Taproom, Renton. A golden orange pour with a thin fizz head. What are creamy, unique beer this is. B shortage on whiskey barrel notes. Big nose.of whiskey, and it buries everything else. Flavor has a ton of barrel as well, but some sweet malt and hop impressions to come through. A bit of a vanilla wafer as well. Tastes much more.like a Barleywine than an IPA. Smooth flavor all throughout though. Interesting, and pretty good.
