From a 355ml can on 18/2/2021. Pours a cloudy deep amber with a small head. The nose features a big whiff of bourbon with some fruit cake and caramel in the mix. The flavour is both intense and complex - more fruit cake and caramel, cherries, toast, nuts, spice and a touch of vanilla. Finishes with a sharpish bitterness featuring some light notes of lime, grapefruit and warming bourbon. The mouthfeel is slick and syrupy, the carbonation moderate. Excellent beer with lovely balance.

From a 355ml can on 9/2/2021(ABV is listed as 9.5% not 6%, so may be different to any 6% version!). Pours a deep dark brown with a smallish head. The nose features some caramel and toffee against a mild bourbon background. Tastes pretty sweet with oodles of caramel, a touch of butterscotch and toffee, with light bourbon kicking in again. The mouthfeel is a bit syrupy, the carbonation. Doesn't drink like anything approaching 10 per cent. Not a world beater but very solid and enjoyable.

From a 355ml can on 1/2/2021.Pours a clear medium to dark golden with a small head. The nose features some caramel, resin and pine. Same goes for the flavour - a decent caramel malt background, a bit of sweet citrus followed by some firm piney, resiny hops. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Very solid, well made and enjoyable.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 21A). Can 34 cl - Batch 8067FNZ (BBF unknown). AROMA: medium-low diacetyl, followed by medium-low oxidized hops (isovaleric and dried pine). low malt background a bit on the toffee side. APPEARANCE: light amber color and clear. medium off-white head, creamy, with good retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with initial medium dried pine notes, slight isovaleric and medium-low dyacetil. medium-high bitterness with a smi-dry and bitter finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: an overdue IPA with fermentation issues.

Can - I’ve passed on this before in big bottles. Black with a cm of light tan head that never quite disappears. Aroma is frank bordering on direct with lots of Bourbon and singed caramel. Medium bodied. A bit hot with booze and it’s really bitterness more than much in the way of stout - roasted flavours don’t really register at all - that seeks to rein it in. Too much like a mixed drink for me.
