The four variations on Because We Can owe their individual and quirky personalities to the wooden liquor barrels they have spent months inside, slowly infusing their fantastic flavour. Remember Beethoven (the dog!) and his brandy-barrel necklace? He knew. Genius.

Deep black, faint ruby highlights (looks clear, has sediment), mocha head. Aroma is barrel aged upfront - raisins, apricots, red prunes, light oaky notes, booze, not as strong as Bourbon. The taste is e medium sweet dark malts, oaky (?), solid alcohol spice, piney woody hops. Correct carbonation and mouthfeel, rich yet yeast drinking. Solid, pretty much in the same ballpark as Bourbon - just a little less potent.
