This very special dark ale has been brewed in small batches and then matured in hand-selected, first-fill bourbon casks to give it its rich, rounded character.
Notes of brown sugar, orange oil and coconut are complemented by an earthy freshness from the hops, and the 30 days the beer's spent in oak have ensured a satisfyingly smooth finish.
Malt: I & G ale malt, crystal malt, amber malt, roasted barely
Hops: Super styrian
Maturation: 30 days in first-fill American bourbon barrels

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Dark brown, small head. Buttery nose with some caramel and bourbon. Very sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Sugar and bourbon, plenty of caramel. White pepper and honey in the finish. Too sweet. The bourbon is nice, everything else is sweet and sloppy.
