Sample from bottle @ Pien, Helsinki. Smooth and sweet with loads of vanilla, maple syrup, wheaty bourbon and barrel notes, some chocolate and cocoa. Pretty good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sam - Barrel Aged on 17 Feb 2023 at 18:56 - Score: 8.

500 ml. Aroma is marshmallow, vanilla, bourbon. Flavor has a strong presence of bourbon throughout without any sweetness. Vanilla and marshmallow are here and NOT cloying. Really nice!

2022 bottle shared by Airforcehops on 11/11/22, thanks! Ebony, dark tan head. Big gusher. Coconut, marshmallow, brown sugar, bourbon and vanilla. Straightforward, moderately sweet BA IS. Sweet, chocolate-vanilla-marshmallow. Not syrupy or thick, but still quite malty. Maybe a bit light for 14. That marshmallow really adds a lot of extra sugar relative to how light the body is. Bitterness, alcohol, more marshmallow, some bourbon spice. Too much alcohol and bitterness and too much marshmallow. Not nearly as rich as I'd want for this alcohol level.

Thanks Chris nice notes of chocolate, roasty notes, bourbon. Well balanced and integrated. Slightly thin but the flavors are insane.

Pours black, small tanned head. Scent is roasty, vanilla, bourbon, wood. strong chocolate aroma. Taste is very full, intense roastyness, chocolate, vanilla, sweet, bourbon and oak very expressive but also very balanced. Bit boozy - not in a negative way. Didn't really get the maple though.
