16oz can pours out amber topped with a small tan head. Nose is nice sweet caramel malts some pitfruit bourbon barrel vanilla notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet caramel malts toffee pitfruit vanilla fruitcake leather and bourbon barrel.

Murky, amberish, sticky and rich, figgy and some bourbon, especially the vanilla accent. Vanilla figgy pudding. Maybe orange rind on that. Looks like shit but tastes good.

Poured from 473mL can (2022 vintage; 15% abv listed). Clear mahogany brown with no head. Caramel and toffee malt, a bit thin, not much else going on here. Okay.

Taster at Bridge & Tunnel. Dark brown pour with a spotty beige head. Aroma is malty, toffee, raisins and whiskey barrel. Taste is sweet and malty and plenty warm. Pit fruit, leather and lots of bourbon.

On tap at Chuck's Greenwood, pours a cloudy amber brown with a tiny head. Aroma brings out dark dried fruits, caramel and bready malt. Flavour has a nice rich maltiness, with lots of brown sugar, bready malt, caramel, and dark dried fruits. A bit messy but has some nice sugars to complement the malt. Good.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark mahogany with a creamy beige head. Aroma of non-bourbon whiskey and dark caramel. Full bodied. It's quite sweet. Like rye whiskey and dark caramel/toffee. Bitter from something, perhaps it's heat subbing for bitter. Really good flavor.

Burk från 2021, 13.4%, whiskey BA. Mörkbrun lite grumlig med smutsbeige krona. Mörk torkad frukt, kolaremmar, lite tjärpastill, lakrisal, massor av whiskey, fat, en aning kakao. Stor men alldeles lagom sötma, stor kropp med bra fatkaraktär. Oerhört balanserad. Mycket bra!

1 pint can. 2021 vintage. Can says 13.4%. Pours a dark brown with short fizzy head that settles quickly. Aromas of toffee, nougat, raisins, rye whiskey, and bready malts. Flavors follow same with emphasis on oaky whiskey and golden. Definite sour note also pops up though covered by sweet toffee and alcohol by the end

500 ml bottle from ABV. Gushes out, be very careful, open over the sink. A dark murky brown red hue with a tiny head. A big malty bourbon nose. Rich, toffee, some English BW elements here, sweet big bourbon. Rich cake, light strawberries. Good. Big.
