Bottle No 23307 from Rudat. Nose is nice woody fruity whisky. The beer starts very deep and intense. Great fruit, smooth with a round and malty smooth body. Long, deep with dry caramel, yellow fruits and nice woody spirits there. Not much bitterness there, very soft and mellow, round and fruity fragile. Great smooth sweetish-fresh woody ending!

(bottle, #21500) Slightly hazy, deep amber to copper colour with a slightly tanned medium-sized foamy head. Fruity aroma of dried and candied fruits with oaky malty accents of caramel, coconut, vanilla and traces of booze. Moderately sweet and delicately tart flavour, medium to full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Taste of cara-malt, oaky Bourbon notes, mixed up with fruity flavours of dried fruits and cocos; moderately sweet and slightly fruity tart finish with shades of booze tuning in. 12.XI.17

Light red and brown, clear beer with good but quickly disappearing head. Aroma has raisins, berries, fruits, some caramel and whisky + oak. Taste has raisins, plums, caramel, whisky and oak. Almost full body, whisky is quite dominant at the end. On the contrary, that makes this beer not too sweet though.
