750 ml bottle shared by AdamJackson. Darker ruby color with bubbly, soapy head. Aroma shows caramel, oak, dark fruit and traces of bourbon.
Flavor is a light bourbon nuance over, caramel, sugar, run soaked raisins. The body is nearly syrupy sweet with a blast of sugar with some dried dark fruits. Lager yeast makes the body kind of thin but with the bourbon flavor helps the overall feel of the brew. Light warming alcohol after the sip, warms the belly. Almost on the line of cloying, yet again the bourbon saves it. Overall, the barrel makes this beer.

Bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours hazy deep reddish brown with a small slightly fizzy beige head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is very malty with caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, prominent bourbon, tingling alcohol, charred wood, butterscotch hard candy, pecan pie, raisins, plums in brandy, caramelized almonds, toasted coconut, sherry, dried cherries, moist soil and hints of hay. Taste is sweet, slightly bitter and malty with caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, bourbon, mineral rich soil, charred wood, raisins, coconut milk, caramelized almonds, roasted hazelnuts, prunes, hay, butterscotch and tummy warming alcohol. Mouthfeel is soft, tiny fizzy, round, tiny sticky sweet and near full bodied. Finish is sweet, bitter and malty with caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, burnt cookies, hay, soil, charred wood, raisins and bourbon. Another BA wonder from North Coast. Lovely malty nose but the mouthfeel is a bit too light and it’s slightly too dry. A malt drem but would have loved something fatter!
