Amber, opaque. So the aroma is figgy, with lots of bourbon, dried orange peel, that sort of thing. On the palate, it doesn't have a lot of body, the malt character is decent, but the lack of body does hold it back...a little carbo would bring out the complexity a bit more.

Poured from 500mL bottle (bottled Nov 2022). Very hazy copper with very minimal white head. Some whiskey, some bread malt, a bit flat, meh.

Pours murky brown and flat. Aroma deep caramel. Malt and spice. Definitely some woodiness, almost retroactively dry. Odd; okay.

500mL bottle, pours a murky rusted red, no head. Nose brings out bready malt, gentle toffee, and very gentle whiskey. Flavour is quite bitter, subdued whiskey barrels, and bready malt. The flat carb doesn't work well, the whiskey is not that complex, and there's a pronounced bitterness to this. Not bad, but this doesn't work for me.
