500 ml bottle. Aroma is caramel, maple, soft vanilla. The flavor is mellow vanilla, raisins, light maple nuances with just enough bourbon to cut the sweetness. No alcohol noted anywhere. Smooth oily texture across the tongue. Wow, candy in a glass that never gets too sweet. Amazing!

Bottle shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Virtually opaque, maple syrup brown, light viscosity, no head/lacing. Aroma is strong caramel, brown sugar, dark fruit, bourbon. Taste is strong vanilla, raisin/dark fruit, maple, caramel, bourbon all in lovely harmony. Smooth, silky texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, mellow finish as taste; zero sign of alcohol. This is so smooth and mellow, you could just sip it forever. Exceptional aroma, taste, texture; super balanced and complex.

LCI. Should have gotten a couple of these. Maple, brown sugar, vanilla, plump raisins, bourbon. No real hop-character, much more English than American.

Log Jammin V: Pours dark amber with small head. Huge vanilla and maple nose. Body is thick and gooey. Sweet with the adjuncts floating beautifully over the barley wine base. Excellent.
