Bottle. Pours clear hazel, medium beige head, decent lacing. Aroma is quite boozy, whiskey with some oak and caramel notes. Base beer was pretty beat up here. Flavor is boozy as well, light plus sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body.

375ml bottle. Pours a semi transparent roan brown with a small beige head that soon recedes to a fine ring around the glass. The aroma strikes me as having a very woody/oaken character with some Belgian yeasts and a bit of whiskey. The taste is similar to the nose, lots of oaken woody character with, whiskey, rock candy and some cola. The palate was medium with soft carbonation. Finishes long and semi0-sweet. Overall: Decent BA Dubbel.

375ml bottle from Tavour. Vintage 2023. 13.4% ABV. Pours a hazy chestnut brown with a creamy beige cap. Sweet toffee aroma hints at whiskey soaked raisins. Flavor is whiskeyish with notes of figs, wood and sherry. Mildly complex with plenty of strong alcohol heat.

Capped 375 from Tavour at 13.4%. Pours hazy brown with a transient beige head. Aroma is something toffeeish with heat and dark fruit notes. Arguably full bodied. Flavor starts with toffeeish malt, then a fair amount of heat, some whiskey, raisins and perhaps figs. It's malty but not sweet. Wood becomes quite noticeable in the finish. Astringent - helps the heat to keep down the malt.

Bottle - marked as 12% abv - Belgian style imperial dark ale aged in bourbon and whiskey barrels - pours a dark ruby with minimal carbonation - some nice oxidation and notes of sherry, musty basement, treacle, oak, booze - the Belgian character is there, for sure, but there are elements here that remind me of barleywine, as well - raisin, plum, with a finishing spiciness and lingering earthy, oaky warmth - a nice slow sipper.
