Bottle from the cellar, 3 years old by now. Welp, this was a mistake; not sure how the beer has been fresh(er), but it’s way past its zenit now. Almost no barrel to speak of, the base beer is extremely mid, the body is thinnnnnn. Ouch

Pours black, small tanned head. Scent is weird. I get .. Walnut. Nowhere in the ingredient list, nowhere near the expected aroma's, but it's really what I get. Freshly picked and opened walnuts, eating the actual nut (with skins) . the only of the 3 barrels that isn't actually recognizable, and even way different than expected. Taste is Full, sweet, now more clear and in line with expectations. Vanilla, bourbon, oak. not over-the-top bourbon though. Bit on the boozy side, but still balanced. Lovely. in our bar, this was 100% The favorite, but I dissagree, I prefer the brandy vanilla (refinement) , which was actually the least favored one.
