12oz bottle pours out cola brown topped with a small head. Nose is nice sweet caramel toffee malts some bourbon barrel kick. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts and a well balanced barrel.

Bomber at share. Dark brown pour with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a nice hit of warmth. Taste is simple straightforward barley wine, malty, brown sugar, tobacco. slow burn. No adjuncts, just really nice.

Bottle thanks to Tommy. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is wood, raisin, caramel, bourbon. Slick body, dark fruit, wood, bourbon, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.

Taster shared with George. Appearance: murky brown with a weak beige head. Aroma: lots of bourbon, dark fruits, sugars. Taste: along the same lines, very sweet and fruity. I expected bit more body in this. Overall: very good, but definitely it is not an excellent stuff.
