Graceful caramel and baking spice aromas awaken your palate, reminding you of a treasured bottle of Bourbon. A hearty sip brings out fig and dried plum, expectant of beers showing the benefit of age. Brown sugar and dried fruit linger on the pallet, highlighted by a sophisticated resonance of American oak.

375mL bottle, pours a murky dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a nice bourbon barrel character upfront, along with caramel malt, bready notes, toffee, and a touch of dark fruits. Flavour is rich and treacly, with toffee, caramel, bready malt, and plenty of bourbon barrels. Nice barrel character to complement the toffee malt. On the sweet side and not particularly complex. Good.
