2016 Bottle, thanks to danlo! (Last bottle of the trade set I think). Clear golden, no head and no bubbles. Sweet, acidic and tart apples. Warming notes of booze, oak, whiskey. Juicy and oaky. Moderate sweet, bitter, tart. Medium body and bo carbonation. Taste is really good. Bit watery cool apple, no real funk, but very nice dry barrel notes on top of juicy apples. --- Beer merged from original tick of 2016 Vintage on 13 Feb 2020 at 19:26 - Score: 7.

500ml bottle, many thanks to Danlo for this! Pours a misty gold, patchy bubbles atop. Aroma has some light whisky hints, gentle apple fruit. Taste possesses pure fruit, very subtle whisky hints, light woody notes, interesting apple blend, softly sweet. Pretty decent.
