Bottle, 0.65l. Aroma of whiskey, wood, vanilla and dried fruit. Pours cloudy dark brown color with thin creamy light brown head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet caramel and toasted malt, following is woody, peaty, leathery, herbal and dried fruity, mouthfeel is smooth and mild spicy, while finish is bitter as hell. Full body, thick texture and average carbonation in palate. Pure joy despite of bloody astringency...

Das ist wirklich eine sehr außergewöhnliche Kombination, das Whisky-Fass riecht und schmeckt man deutlich raus. Das Red wird hinten aber etwas bitter und bekommt einen Jägermeister-Touch. Da dann auch alkoholisch.

Murky red - brown beer, good pale tan head. Palate is airy and a little soft, mild fine carbonation. Smooth malts. a little creamy sweetness. Bitterish wood offset by mild vanilla. Bitter marmalade and light floralness. The bitterness starts to fade as the beer warms up. Mild fruity whisky adds further depth. A big chewy beast of a beer, but the whole bottle disappeared soon enough!

At GBF. Deep bronze coloured beer under a thin, pale beige head. Interesting aroma of spareribs with honey, toasted bread, caramel, vanilla, liquorice, aromatic eucalyptus-like aspects. Intense taste, some apparently oxidized malts, caramelly with a toasted edge, tad smoky, vinous and full mouthfeel, dry red wine effect in the end along with a long, piney, spicy hop bitterness. Stone’s Arrogant Bastard is not that far away, in any case an interesting red ale packed with flavour.

Sample @ 6de Gents Bierfestival 2015. Brune sur un léger trouble, col fin beige voire blanc-cassé. Arôme met de suite un accent sur le côté prenant de la barrique offrant de belles effluves de Whisky avec un léger rétro vanillé. Rétro met aussi en avant un malté agréable tirant sur le caramel, léger grillé et touche de chocolaté. Palais sur un palais prenant alcoolisé et réchauffant. Retrouve un beau boisé sur fine note de vanille. Malt pâle et caramel? pointe de grillé, les houblons sont aussi bien là rappelant des essences vertes, agrumes et bien citronnées. Le tout restant un peu faiblard pour une bière qui s’enorgueillit de pousser les 100IBU.

Small off-white rim over fully opaque dark brown beer with orange reflections. Very aromatic, even perfumey C-hops, rosewater, sweet. Bourbon, vanilla, alcohol, chocolate, coloured malts. "Hot", alcoholheat, slick & full bodied. Nice, but once more, nothing new.
