Canned 12/6/21, drunk 11/27/22. Clear, ruddy-amber-auburn, small, dark beige head to ring. Nose is lovely maple, rich, honey-and-toffee malt, nicely aged with liquor-like spiciness and dryness. Vanilla, buttercream, barrel acidity/tannin, oak, jesus, it's all here. Can't believe this is so luxurious. No sign of booze nor any overly sugary/syrupy notes. No oxidation or intense specialty malt. Just lightly fruity yeast, balanced bourbon, rich but seemingly attenuated malts and lingering pepper/spice. Rich, sweet, but with balanced acidity, good barrel character but with no sharpness/harshness/heavy alcohol. Rich maple, with fruity, succulent toffee finish. This is pretty god damned incredible. Reminds of a BCBS Barleywine. Rich, malty, borderline syrupy, succulent and just balanced enough. And no alcohol showing through somehow. What a treat!

Burk från Beer Republic, 2021. Snygg, klar rubinröd/kastanjebrun med hög ljusbeige krona. Straight Jacket i all sin ära, här med massa lönnsirap. Något kladdigt, sockersött, en sån där träig ton som lönnsirap kan ge, typ varmt bastuträ (tack Petrus). Ligger nästan kvar som en hinna på tänderna - det som finns kvar av dem iallafall. Visst är det gott och välgjort, men det är ett steg ner från vanliga, som ju är så oerhört bra som den är.

Gorgeous dark copper colour, looks thick, syrupy. Smell is oldschool barleywine: malty, dried fruit, and a good amount of maple and light bourbon thrown in. Smooth, rich body. Taste is the smell with more. Raisins, caramel, maple, bourbon, more maple.

Pours a deep, reddish-brown, with mid-sized head. Aroma is maple, bourbon, vanilla. Flavor follows. Very, very sweet and smooth. ABV is pretty well-hidden from flavor and aroma.
