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.

Sample (thanks fonefan). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, toffee, some alcohol, leather and mild rum sweetness. Flavour is rum, some toffee, mild alcohol, leather and mild candy tones. Sweetish, but still very drinkable Mellow.

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.
