Craft Beer Junction. Xmas bottleshare. Hazy amber brown beer, small tan head. Smooth airy palate, mildly dry, modest fine carbonation. Smooth creamy caramel malts. A big ripe tangy fruitiness, more than supplemented by the fruity bourbon barrel. A little vanilla oak. Semi dry finish. Flavoursome!

Big 750 bottle kindly shared by Finn. Off-white head remaining over a cloudy, orange-brown body. Poor lacing. Promising smell of mid-sweet dark and dried fruits. Mixed taste of raisin, plums, apricot, and a nutty bite. Woody. Lingering ending of dried fruits. Full bodied. Likable. (Rating session with Finn, djoeye and lmojoh, Tromsø 27.04.2021).
