330ml bottle from National Brewery Centre, Burton-upon-Trent. Orangey amber gold colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin layer and aroma of fruity apple, whisky, woody, citric, alittle funk hint. Taste is sweetish, apple, fruity, citric, tangy, some tartness, and caramel, woody, whisky booze hint, vanilla. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying woody tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

7/5/2022. Bottle shared by minutemat, cheers. Pours clear golden copper with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is fruity, whiskey, warming, cumquat, wood, toffee, lightly funky. Moderate sweetness, light bitterness and tartness. Medium body, slightly oily, low carbonation. Dry fruity finish. Enjoyed this.

330ml bottle from National Brewery Centre, Burton on Trent. Misty gold appearance, with a small amount of white bubbles that persist. Aged in a 2nd Fill bourbon barrel from Chichibu Distillery. Comforting butterscotch and toffee apple aroma, continues through to taste with pleasant tannin and caramel emerging. I originally guessed it was calvados barrel-aged before translating, certainly seems more aligned with that kind of sweetness rather than bourbon. Excellent result though, really nice.
