Bottle from Hollingshead, drunk 2/14/23. Clear amber-bronze. Small, off-white head. Rich honey and bourbon with vanilla, oak and rich caramel. Soft, rich, sweet, juicy and rich with vanilla and soft, spicy bourbon. Excellent amount of spicy bourbon. Succulent and whickey-rich without astringency.

22 oz. Bottle, thanks to ClarkVV. Aroma is toffee, earthy grain, raisins. The malt character is rich. Plenty of dark fruit with lasting vanilla and oak from the barrel. Rich and well made. Alcohol is hidden. Awesome!

Bottle. Pours a lightly hazy reddish amber. Thin tan head. Lovely caramel maltiness aroma and flavors. Very faded bitterness but smooth sweet deliciousness. Very nice

Mooch tasting, courtesy of Sergey
Brown colour. Aroma of malt, of fruit, figs, prunes, molasses, bourbon. Sweet and rich, deep malt base, dates with sweet bourbon.
Yes, it's an English style, well made too; a fruity Barley Wine. Excellent.

Flaska från Seattle. Drucken jämte Brew 2000. Någorlunda klar, mahognyfärgad, vitbeige krona. Kastanj, kolasnören, höstlöv, brunt socker. Kolsyran och smaken snäppet piggare än 2000, men mindre skillnad än väntat. Denna även snäppet lättare. Ganska jämnt race, men föredrar nog 2000 med en liten marginal. Brew 3000 och 4000 dock bättre.

22oz (thx, Josh!) @ Sales Force. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: bourbon, malty, caramel, some dark fruits. Taste: along the same lines, with creamy oak notes, fruity, and quite sweet. Overall: a good liquid bourbony candy.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Dark mahogany brown with small light beige head. Dark dried fruit, raisin, molasses, touch of heat from the bourbon barrels, nicely integrated. Fairly sweet, but very good.
