Gold with a large white head that fades to an inch and never disappears.. Aroma of crackery dough, coriander, white pepper, nectarines, oranges. Mildly funky with a background oak presence. Perhaps a little fruitier than the normal version. 7+ Pleasantly creamy but really quite sweet. Again, there's a suggestion of deeper fruit and more pronounced spices here but happily (for me) the barrel's profile doesn't stick out. 7+ Like normal Saison du Bateau I'd like a drier finish but this is another good one from Boatrocker.

330ml bottle, 2017 vintage, at 13.6%. Pours pitch black with a tan head. Chocolate, coffee, charcoal, oak, raisins, figs, liquorice, vanilla, orange peel. Whisky flavour is clean and controlled and perfectly blends into the beer. The whole thing is so incredibly well put together. It's remarkable they can make something so strong, put it in such strong flavoured casks and come out with something so well balanced, so smooth and so subtle. The mouthfeel is absurd. Absolutely brilliant.
