Sample at Beer Meets Wood on 09/23/2017. Dark brown color with a medium light brown head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Small patches of lace. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, oak and chocolate malt. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, charred malt, chocolate and dark fruit. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and malt aftertaste. Good beer overall.

Keg at Beavertown Extravaganza 2017 - London. Pours amber-brown with a foamy, off-white head. Great big beast, with lots of dried fruits, brown bread, toffee, vanilla, fruitcake. Really sweet. Full bodied and oily, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, with notes of dates, more fruitcake, brown bread, plenty more toffee. Lots of fun in moderate dosage.

Keg at Beavertown Extravaganza. It pours deep red – brown with a small beige head. The aroma is soft, sweet, sugary dried fruits, oak, vanilla, toffee, black tea and cookie dough. The taste is soft, sweet, oily, sugary, warming boozy vibes, earth, wood, bourbon, tannin, black tea, leather, spice and some warming alcohol through the finish. Full body and fine carbonation. A rich and toothy sipping ale. Good fun.

Fat på MBCC 2017. Smak och doft av karamell, torkad frukt, brunt socker, lönnsirap, bröstkarameller, katrinplommon med toner av bourbon. Mastig och mustig, komplex, stor sötma, rund och len, bra balans. Mycket gott!
