Keg at Craft Inn, Worcester, 16/02/23. Almost clear golden with a light beige cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is ripe old bourbon, stewed fruits, dates, grains, caramel, light yeast esters. Taste comprises fruit cake, spice, vanilla oak, caramel, bourbon in your face. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a boozey edge. Okay sipper if a touch 1D and the bourbon dominates too much ... needs a better balance.
