Love me some amburana barrels, so curious how much of that I get. Dark brown. Not much head. Lots of vanilla and coconut character on the nose. Sweet body, rich malts, again vanilla, coconut and maybe some hazelnut. Great flavours. A bit of tonka-cinnamon that showcases the barrel I would say, and the base is big...not complex but it is very rich. Not what I expected but I'm definitely happy.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out faint amburana, a hint of bourbon, and a little toffee. Flavour is loaded with rich amburana, a little bourbon, and some treacly notes. It's not that good a base beer, but the amburana really shines here. Good.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with light head. Aromas of amburana, cinnamon, dark caramel, raisins, and soft roasted malts. Flavors of brown sugar, soft woody amburana, subtle bourbon, raisins and caramel malts. Sweet and sticky. Love the amburana…

Dark mahogany to brown colour. The aroma is perfumey, tons of vanilla, new furniture, then some chocolate, dark caramel. Good body structure, moderately sweet, it doesn't have the malt depth of a Barley Wine, but it has a quite good caramel character, brown sugar; notes of vanilla and toffee (this may likely come from the wood); the alcohol is quite well hidden.
Not a Barley Wine, but it's very good, and the amburana character complements the caramel malt flavour in a perfect way.

330ml shared with Ryan (thx, for a pick-up, dude!) @ Alex's. Appearance: brown with almost no head. Aroma: sweet with a spicy apple-ish character coming from the Amburana barrel. Taste: along the same lines, spicy, reminds me somehow an apple pie with spices. Overall: pretty good, but from the cost/benefit standpoint it's not a winner for me. Considering other less expensive heavy beers around here from Twin Sails or Backcountry I would give them my preference over this one.

Re-rate: Poured from 330mL bottle (w/ the brewnosers). Amburana is great here. Feel it’s improved, especially the nose. May 9, 2022 (7/3/8/3/15=3.6): Poured from 330mL bottle. Medium dark brown with very minimal beige head. Vanilla and a touch of cinnamon, that Amburana barrel is really working hard here, feint hint of bourbon. Unfortunately, the rest of the beer isn't as full bodied as I would have liked. Really this is just an average beer that's really held up by the qualities of the Amburana wood.
