From tap at Borefts 2017. Aroma is rich caramel malt, big notes of sherry and whiskey, lots of oak, toffee, vanilla, fairly boozy. Flavour is massively sweet. Body is full and sticky. Thick and full boozy beer, tasty!

RBJG2. Aroma is funky, boozy, creamy. Taste is toffee sweet, apples lots of booze. Coconut, vanilla ice cream. Would have loved to drink a whole one. And then have a nap. Now am having a whole one. Still very nice. Can taste the barrel, lots of wood. Quite fruity, And boozy. Not adding much, am I?

On tap at Borefts BF 2017. Clear amber colour lasting white head. Woody barrel age aroma. Bit too woody for me. Some toffee. Ugh. Too woody too boo\y . OK but not my thing. Boozy.

Sampled @ Borefts Beer Festival 2017, day 2. A bit hazy reddish color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, heavy barrel influence, what is that, whiskey? Overripe fruit flavors as well. Toffee, caramel. Heavy but nice as a slow sipper.
