Rye Wine ✅ Prominent rye flavor, oaky, boozy, slightly bitter. Kind of tastes like a more bitter barleywine.

bottle. Aroma of port wine cellar (yea' it's bourbon BA, but who knows, perhaps the bourbon has been on port barrels). dried dark fruts and full-on malts blend well with wood and the bourbon. rounded and cellary aroma. quite refined. flavor is dried dark fruits, wood, bourbon, booze, faint licorice, rye. a real winter warmer. A real sipper.

bottle suprisingly dark, totally baltic porter color, light brown head. Very nice aroma of roasted malts and port wine barrel. flavor is roasted malts, wood, faint dried dark fruits from the port wine barrels, old dry raisins, faint dark caramel, Many very hard roasted notes, but all of them quite refined and accompanied by woody notes, making it all quite complex and interesting. great sipper and great overall.

the final release 2020 aroma of port wine, toasted and lightly roasted malts, fainter very nice notes of good quality chocolate and caramel, all in all great aroma. Flavor is sweet lightly roasted malty, a bit of fruitiness like raisins and dark dried fruits, a bit of wood, even faint charred wood, all the flavors are extremely well mixed up and none stand out, making the beer an exceptionally delicious treat and sipper. Sort of a dark malty barley wine with notes that reminds me of belgian quad and barrel aged brown ale. belgian quad is probably the closest flavor, but this one is smoother and less yeasty (in a good way).

Can (from Kabacka Seinäjoki). Hazy yellowish golden colour, mediumsized creamy white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is some tart floral tones with mild grapefruits and a bit herbal tones. Flavour is funky, some floral tones with grapefruits and some tart wooden elements. Strange, but not all too bad though.

Draught@TCBW2023. Black colour with a mediumsized brown foamy head. Aroma is toffee, some coffee, tonka beans, mild bourbon sweetness with some chocolate, roasted tones and some syrupy sweet tones. Flavour is pretty much following the pattern of the aroma, but also has some rum sweetness coming through. Tasty!
