Warren draught, 12/24/24.
Clear, dark. Small, light tan head.
Raisin, dark chocolate, moderate roast and mild caramel. Lovely base malts with biscuity, not over-roasted barley. Clean, moderately fruity yeast.
Chewy with heavy dark chocolate. Coffee bean lingering alongside vanilla and mild caramel. Just a bit too roasty, I think, in flavor, though the texture is great. Lingering chocolate and mild dark fruit. Chewy, fruity, clean.

Warren draught, 12/24/24.
Clear medium amber-ruddy strawberry. No head.
Big, massive, rich tropical fruits with...coffee? Smells like that. Peppery, light roast fruitiness. Big, sticky, rich caramel-vanilla and long, juicy passion fruit. No booze.
Coffee and pepper, juicy, rich fruit and rich caramel and big citrus. Balanced acidity with spicy vanilla and lingering malt. No booze. Sweet but with excellent acidity. Should age nicely.

Warren draught, 12/24/24.
Clear, dark mahogany with deep ruby tints. Small, light tan head slowly settles at cover.
Oaky and with a bit of dried toffee and tart raisin. Vanilla and more woody notes without much in the way of big whiskey. Good dark fruit but I want more malt and whiskey and less oak tannin and fruit. Not boozey, maybe some warming.
Oaky and fruity with plum, currant, dark chocolate and light alcohol warmth. Dry, though still fairly malty. Just too much dry, tannic whiskey spice for me, though, ultimately. So much dark fruit. I'm keeping in mind this isn't a stout, so it's not unreasonable to be highly fruity, but I guess the whiskey is just a bit too dry and dominant for my tastes. Lingering heavy spice and light alcohol warmth.

Warren draught, 12/24/24.
Clear, dark auburn-dark male. Small, beige head immediately gone.
Chewy, rich, caramelized malts and dense molasses-raisin. But much maltier than fruity. Was expecting a big blast of sour mash bourbon but it's mild, tasteful. No booze. Caramel and vanilla lingering long.
Juicy malt almost with tons of sour mash bourbon in the flavor. Yep, that's JD! Not my favorite as it literally does have a sourness to it, but it works pretty well here with the huge caramel and vanilla of the malt monster that is this beer. It's even nicely attenuated. Lingering Jack, caramelized brown sugar, maple and molasses. No booze at all.

Clear, pale golden. No head.
Fruity, light tart, mellow Brett and biscuity wheat with a bit of lactic in there too. Clean and aromatic.
Chewy wheat, lots of lactic character and a touch of powdered sugar. Not very much classic Brett character in flavor. But there's a good texture and attenuation.

Bottle. Pours a jet black hue with a small beige head that goes down to nothing. Rich nose of syrup, fruit, cocoa. Sweet but balanced, dark fruit, the barrel is huge, woody, sweet whiskey. A very unusual stout. Not cloying. Almost barley wine like. This is really nice. Slick palate.

Bottle pours with a clear copper colored body that really has no head. The modest aroma offers up smooth soft caramel, supple strawberry goodness and then date to prune like fruity esters. The taste delivers smooth slick sweet malts and molasses that quickly become consumed with rich fruity strawberry. To midway it picks up a green sort of strawberry skin sensation that provides additional balance and depth. Great offering.

Pours a clear deep ruby brown body and a small beige head with fairly good retention. Aroma's: sweet, red fruit, caramel, old-ish. Retronasal it's sweet, old-ish (or matured), herbal, fruity. Flavor is above moderate sweet with light bitterness. Above medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Warming alcohol. Finishes with increasing bitterness. Happy to conclude this is still a beautiful beer.
