Can 33 cl. Pours an opaque, dark brown with an orange hue and a small, rough, beige head - fatty curtains. Somewhat rustic Bourbon aroma, vanilla and molasses. Rich, sweet body, caramel and molasses with distinct Bourbon, vanilla and wood. While the Bourbon was subtle in the nose, it appears overpowering in the flavor. Base beer is hard to detect. Warming alcohol finish with no real bitterness. 230226

Can. A mostly clear dark brown beer with a small beige head. Lightly boozy, alcoholic, with roasted malts, toffee, dark chocolate, some coffee and dark dried fruit. It's full-bodied and lightly warming, sweet, with a decent bitterness. Roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee notes and brown sugar in the flavor. Some dark dried fruit, oak and booze. Lasting finish. Not sure the bourbon and barrel adds something good to the beer, but it's sure note a bad one. 241231

Draught @ Mig & Ølsnedkeren. Pours very dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, little dried fruit, rich bourbon. Flavor is sweet, rich malty, caramel, bread, bourbon, alcohol. Medium body, soft to average carbonation with loads of alcohol. A tad boozy - still pretty tasty. 250324

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Deep ruby, mid sized head. Deep bready bourbon aroma. Mid sweet with full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Deep bready malt, creamy with lots of bourbon. Warming and mellow with long but mild bitterness. Lovely!

Draft. A black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, prunes, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of wood, prunes, roasted malt, and bourbon, leading to a dry finish.
