Bottle, 9C. Hazy gold with a white head that lasts all the way and laces prettily. Aroma of hay, lime, apricots, spices, flowers. Lighter bodied than last time with less dough. Hay, apricots, spices - more angelica and coriander than juniper - flowers, minerals. Even more than last time, even though you know it’s a gin barrel there’s as much a white wine - say Viognier - element to it. And the way it emerges out of the pale malts is very nice. Alcohol is not obvious at all (until I got up to let the dog out). Long finish has moderate bitterness, lime, coriander, oak. Very good.

[9/13] So this is being counted as a new beer. Moving across. 2013 bottle. Black with a tan head that laces well. Lots of whisky in the aroma this time as well as mocha, blackberries, floral notes. Very luscious mouthfeel, low carbonation. Fairly sweet, gradually dries out. Again, more whisky than last time but not quite so much that it overwhelms the beer. Getting up there though. Gentle roasted flavours, chocolate, coffee, fudge, berries, light peppery spices, vanilla. Liked the subtler whisky of last time slightly more. [4.0] [1/14] Keg at brewery. Not much in the way of head. The whisky is less prominent and the fudginess, mocha and dark berries meld well with the barrel treatment. Very fine and dangerously drinkable.

Bottle. Nose of bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, coffee. Black with lace. Soft, sweet flavor of vanilla, chocolate cookies, toffee. Very soft, almost flat. A bit like cream soda. Good.

Pitch black color. Nice soft nose the bourbon is not over powering, some oak, dark chocolate, dark fruit, tootsie rolls. Very smooth, velvety, tons of dark chocolate, sweet malty. Alcohol so well hidden. Very nice subtle bourbon barrel finish.

Bottle at Bruces’s new pad, thanks to Josh 15/10/13. Mid black with thinnish off white edgework. Nose is cocoa, light plastic, burnt sugar, marzipan. Taste comprises dark fruit, toffee fudge, brown sugars, molasses, chocolate. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finale. Tastes a little life expired not one to age perhaps?

Tasting at Bruce’s new pad. Thanks to Josh for bringing this over. Opaque dark brown beer with a small pale tan head. Palate starts smooth but has a light minerally crispness. Milky dark malt and light milk chocolate. Trace of dark fruits and a whisper of spice. Light dry finish. Nice beer!
