CBJ bottle share, thanks to me for the bottle. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied dark malts, a mild dark chocolate. Good cinnamon spice, powerful but tempered by the bold rum barrel, tangy and fruity. Finish light and spicy and slightly medicinal. Intense, off its tits and thoroughly entertaining.

Really, truly, the website should separate Belgian Ale - Strong between pale and dark, very different. Just saying. I lifted this 12.7 oz bottle out of the 12 Days of Christmas assortment purchased from the brewery last year for a side-by-side comparison with the barrel aged version this past weekend. Didn’t happen so the rating takes place tonight. I have my Delirium snifter ready, I pull the cap on the bottle and pour. The appearance is a clearish dark gold finished with a slender skim of silvery foam. I smell ripe fruit, straw and grain. Now for a drink. Pretty decent, one of the few times I think I like the regular version more than the barrel aged one. Fairly sweet apricot, malt, pineapple, white bread, Granny Smith apple and field. Some spiciness but not too much. Nicely dense. Damn, the folks at The Bruery can put together some fine beers.

On tap at BeerTemple. Pours black with a beige head. Tons of burnt sugar, blackstrap molasses, hazelnuts, and bourbon barrels on the nose. Flavour has a fairly rich malt profile, lots of molasses and dark sugars, hazelnuts, and a very bourbon-y finish. Very nice.

The fifth beer in the 2020 bourbon barrel aged collection purchased from The Bruery. This 12.7 oz bottle is open and going into a Trappistes Rochefort glass as we speak. The body is a hazy pale gold with a minimal head of small bubbles but the carbonation is almost fierce. I smell yellow fruit, white bread and alcohol. But the point of all this is the drink so I take one. The taste is unique, I have not encountered a brew that is close. Almost ripe somewhat sweet nectarines, malt, a bit of pineapple, spice to some degree, cinnamon I think mostly, a touch of sourness and a pronounced boozy background. I call this one interesting, very drinkable, but not near to being the best of the collection.

Bottle shared at mini-tasting. Opaque jet black color, average sized brown colored head. Aroma is malts, heavy barrel, port I guess. Flavor is malts, vanilla, barrel / port, dark malts, sweet, boozy. Velvety mouthfeel, thick texture, average carbonation. Very solid.
