Can, 9.5%. Unclear brown with a good inch of white head that only fades a bit. Somewhat muddled but pleasant bread, fruit and whiskey aroma with lots of vanilla. Muddled getting towards dirty palate with no bold clean lagerish malt presence just a jumble of boozy fruit and whiskey. Bitter with some drying oak at the end. Not for me.

On tap at Homestead, Meridian. Foggy redish light amber l. Thin off white skin of bubbles. Toasted maltiness on the aroma and flavors. A little sweet wood and vanilla perhaps. Decent woody bitter bite at the end.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours medium amber with a beige/tan head. Aroma of toffee and whiskey. Med plus body. Flavor is toffee, mixed darkish fruits and whiskey. A little non- musty wood. Quite dry for me. Heat stands in for bitter. Good flavor.

Slightly hazed, caramel-amber colour with a creamy beige head, big bubbles at times, mild carbonation and good foamy lacing. Caramel and vanilla aromas. Same for flavours with hints of dark fruits and decent hops to cut the sweetness in the end. Bitterness does build with time, lingering in the finish. Not bad, but the balance between the oak sweetness and the bitter-alcohol feel is not the best. Glad I tried one, but would not have another.

650ml bottle, 7.8 & abv, kindly shared by Finn. Off-white head, spotty lacing, close-to-clear dark amber coloured body. Moderate aromas of doughy malts. Taste of smooth vanilla caramel and earthy malts. Woody. A bourbon vibe to a bittersweet ending, lightly roasted. Fine depth. Pretty good, without being great in any way. (Rating session at Finn's with lmojoh, Finn, and djoeye, Tromsø 28.01.2021).
