Bottle from de Bierliefhebber, bottled on 04.27.17. Almost clear golden to amber color, medium rocky head. Malty aroma, caramel, bready, but aslo some grapefruit. I doubt a fresh example would be focused on hop predominantly, it probably would be quite malty anyways. In taste, abit of cookie sweetness, bready malts and slight dry bitterness, Bourbon doesnt give a lot of vanilla, more some cookie and a bit of extra booze. Interesting, but not mindboggling.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear amber to copper with almost no head. Aroma is very rich, extremely piney and hoppy, some fresh cut grass. Considering this is a BA Imperial IPA with 12+ abv the freshness of the hops is seriously impressive. Obviously big malty aroma with a lot of caramel coming through. Some oak and vanilla from the barrel, though not very emphasised. Quite a bit of fruit aroma, plums and figs mostly. Huge heavy body. Thick mouthfeel. Flavour is heavy, sweet and bitter. All amped up but working well together. Maltiness is showcased nicely, a lot of crystal malts I suppose as there's a lot of caramel flavour coming through. High bitterness with great hoppiness. Herbal and grassy with a lot of pine rather than citrus fruit showcased here, though there is some heavy citrus (lemon and lime, grapefruit) in the finish. Again plum and figs. The barrel is really noticeable, a lot more so than the aroma lets on. Big bourbon flavours, some vanilla, heavy oak. Finish is long and as already mentioned brings forth the citrus if the hops. Slightly warming and boozy, still caramelly sweet. Woah, what a beer. Bourbon BA Imperial IPA? Works fantastically well!

Bottle at home, 11/03/18. Clear golden amber with a big old off white head that stays for the show. Nose carries a big bourbon rip, caramel, bitter orange, grapefruit, alcohol fumeage, mango, old skool DIPA exhaust. Taste comprises sweet malts, bourbon chimes, sticky tropical fruits, light spice, pine resin, caramelised figs, grapefruit. Full bodied, fine carbonation, rising alcohol, semi aggressive hop bitterness masked with bourbon all come together well in the close. Decent for a BA DIPA ... a touch hot and boosty but well joined up.
