Sample at Solothurner Biertage, may 2019. Dark brown, almost black body with a small tan head. Frankly not really sure on what style this is, it was just called Barrel aged dark ale. It feels like something in between a stout and a barley wine, still lighter in body and not particular high in alcohol. The Bourbon barrel flavor is quite dominating so the beer might even be something else but I just have to go for something. Aroma is dark malt, not very roasted, some wood, hint of vanilla and lots of Bourbon with a touch of dry fruit. Flavor is like aroma, sweet dark malt, dry fruit, wood, vanilla and lots of Bourbon. Medium body, does not feel sticky sweet or to heavy and Bourbon sweet aftertaste. A bit vinous actually.

30.08.2019-- on tap at basler biermarkt, 4fr/0.2l. pours a hazy deep amber with a quickly disappearing head. aroma of medicine, booze. flavour of bourbon, wood, plums. boozy, medicinal. definitely not a stout.
