Bottle shared in London - cheers! Pours clear copper with a creamy, mostly white head. Sweet, tangy, herbal, berries. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Tangy finish. So so.

Bottle from La Mise en Bière, carried by mon chou
(some details got lost) The base Doppelbock seems to be quite rich; the bourbon barrel is really present, which is distracting for this beer. But it's a good one overall.

330ml @ Phill's. Appearance: dark copper with a beige head. Aroma: very weird barrel, somewhat chemical, artificial with apples notes and dark fruits. Taste: roasted malts, bourbon, weird wood, some malty notes. Overall: despite the taste being a bit better than the aroma, it's pretty much a meh beer.

Poured from 330mL bottle. Slightly hazed mahogany brown with small beige head. Quite woody American oak, mild bourbon, lightly toasted nuts, a little bit thin.

330mL bottle, pours clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is loaded with big bourbon barrels, toasted nuts, and some dark fruits. Flavour is boozy and kind of thin and acidic, with toasted nuts, red fruits, and some bourbon barrels. Rather thin-bodied, but the bourbon character has a nice dimension to it. A bit messy and lacking cohesion, but it's pleasant.

mahogany colour, one inch of creamy beige-ish ecru head; aroma of vanilla, toffee, dried fruits like raisisns and maybe sour cherry, (dark) chocolate and whisky notes; taste is similar to the aroma with less intensity and more definite alcoholic spiciness; really good one!
