Bottle: Poured a deep amber color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of woody notes with some bourbon and vanilla and some caramelized malt notes with light toffee notes is pleasant. Taste is a complex mix of caramelized malt with some light toffee and woody notes with some bourbon and vanilla with not too much residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation and light warming alcohol notes. Well brewed and good mix of flavours with bourbon barrels.
