330 ml bottle. Clear, golden body with a nice, but collapsing off-white head. Aroma is strong caramel with vanilla. Flavor is sweet caramel, vanilla, oak and descent bitterness, quite smooth. The aftertaste has a clear indication of whisky. There is a lot better and stronger flavored oak aged beers out there, but this is quite nice anyway.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep copper color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and very minimal lacing. Aroma of rum and lightly sweet barley. Taste is also a nice mix between some rum notes with some barley notes. More balanced then previous version and barrel-aging doesn’t overtake the whole beer. Not sure this is something I would want to drink often but still enjoyable.

(Bottle, purchased at Systembolaget) Dark reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Burnt, smoky nose with tar, liquorice, chocolate, honey and wood. Malty, roasted taste with notes of tar, liquorice, chocolate, honey and lots of wood in the finish. Medium body, not overly sweet. Not really balanced, all the smoke and tar goes a bit over board and takes over everything else. Interesting and rather tasty.
