Aroma of caramelized malt notes with some residual sugar notes with some bourbon and vanilla notes. Taste is also a mix of caramelized malt notes with some residual sugar notes with bourbon and vanilla notes. Body is about average with medium carbonation and light warming alcohol notes. Interesting wheat wine with a nice mix of flavors.

Dull amber - light brown colour. Mild aroma of vanilla, toffee, spirit. Full bodied, sweet; some malt and toffee flavour, golden syrup, not the malt depth that could come from a proper Barely Wine; vanilla (but it may also be the character of the barrel), no signs of maple; a bit oily, like all Wheat Wines; and it's very hot.
Decent.

500ml (thx, Brian C.!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees. Appearance: hazy copper with no head. Aroma: pretty much the same as the original - wheat, sweet, barrel. Still no maple (thx, God), but there is no vanilla either. Taste: same as boozy as the original, but it has quite a lot of vanilla in addition to the creamy notes coming from the oak. Overall: quite enjoyable, despite it being quite boozy. I liked the creamy and vanilla long aftertaste in this one.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear-ish amber with minimal white head. Oak, mild vanilla, barrel, touch of dark dried fruits. On par with original Sixth, but slightly less boozy so gave it an extra 0.1 rating.
