Bottle at Black Christmas 2018, vintage 2016, 10% ABV
Dark amber colour. The aroma is almost candy-ish. The flavour is moderately sweet, with strawberry jam.
Very good.

Light brown, no head. Phenolic acetone and light bubblegum. Soft body. Bubblegum, fair bit of alcohol. Not vibing.

Taster at Elizabeth Station. Pours a dark brown with a weak beige head. Aroma is bourbon, candied fruits. Taste is sweet with candied berries notes, bourbon notes. Good stuff.

2016 vintage and listed at 10% now I believe. A deep ruby brown color with a substantial beige head that has big raison and plum belgian ale aromas with a sweet oaky bourbon compliment. A really clever idea to combine the sweet malty goodness of what I’d call a Belgian Dubbel as a base beer and then add the wonderful bourbon flavor complexity.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of dark fruit, dark caramel, sweet toasted malts, and alcohol. Flavors of sweet dry raisins, dusty caramel, toasted malts, light metallics, andlight woody bourbon. Tasty but was looking for greatness...

Draft at taproom. Dark mahogany, small ring of head. Aroma is pit fruit, plums, mildly sweet. Taste is also fruity, raisins, prunes. The barrel aging announced itself later on with some booziness and heat. Well crafted.

750 mL bottle poured. 2014 vintage. Listed at 10% Pours a muddy brown color with a swirling fizz head. Sweet aroma heavy with bourbon. Bourbon really comes through here, with sweet caramel, and even has a bit of whiskey burn late in the palate. Finishes cool. A little to sweet but I could have expected this. Pretty good.
