ADTWD team tasting in sunny Halzlemere. Near clear deep amber brown beer, small and short lived tan head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, a mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Rich malts base, slightly bitterish dark toffee and a little malt cream. Smooth rich ripe fruity bourbon, a little wet wood bitterness. Touch of oak induced vanilla. Some alcohol spice on the finish. Heady but bloody drinkable for 23%
Intense with barrel notes, caramely malts, toffee, prunes, figs, raisins, some oaky notes, hints of vanilla. Warming alcohol in the finish. Quite close to Quad, less sweet and more intense barrel notes than in batch 14.
Sweet and boozy, alao hefty, feels quite close to the b4 quad. Less raisin here, caramel and bourbon a plenty though. Smooth and rich, excellent as well.
