750ml picked up at Luvians, St Andrews. It pours clear deep rich brown with a dissipating khaki head. The aroma is rich and unctuous, oily, bourbon soaked oak, nutty, praline, toffee, splash of cola, vanilla, Dr Pepper, dried & dark fruits, plum, prune, figgy pudding, raisin, fruit pudding and salted caramel. The taste is slick, oily, bitter - sweet, plenty of heady bourbon fun times, bourbon soaked oak, light tannin, toffee, caramel, raisin, sultana, fig, plum, vanilla, touch of toasted coconut, cola, toasted nut, some spice and pleasing alcohol warmth with a slick, oily, bourbony finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. Nice depth of flavour. Hefty, but fun.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with short head. Aromas of bready malts, caramel, sweet bourbon, oak, and raisins. Flavors of sweet oaky bourbon, dark fruit, treacle, nougat, and bready malts. Complex and subtle at the same time. Nice warm finish. An excellent sipper. Thinking library with slippers, warm fire and good book type beer.

Craft Beer Junction bottleshare. Thanks to me. Hazy deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, pretty light, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, good caramel and cream. Smooth bourbon barrels, smooth but rich fruity bourbon. A decent amount of oaky vanilla. Hardly any spice at all! Soft fruity finish. Wow! Nothing new here but incredibly smooth and drinkalble whilst still retaining a good depth of flavour. Yeah, very dangerously drinkalble.
