Bottle, 7.7%. Salty liquorice aroma. Black colour. Cigarbox flavour, sweet vanilla alcohol. Not too powerful and with a little rough alcohol. The oak taste is OK, I guess, but the alcohol bitterness is too rough.

Bottle, 22oz. A dark brown beer topped by a small, dense, light beige head. The aroma is roasted and lightly boozy, with some vanilla hints, roasted malts and some chocolate hints. The flavor is roasted and vanilla-ish, with coffee, cocoa notes, dark chocolate, and also some bitterness. Full-bodied and warming. Roasted finish with a touch of bourbon. A really pleasant one, except that it’s a bit too boozy. 120818

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are vanilla, bourbon, wood, caramel and notes of hops. Terrible idea to barrel an IPA. Totally destroys the hop character. And doing it in bourbon barrels is just a double mistake.
