Can. Opaque dark brown beer, a few tan bubbles never threaten to form a head. Smooth palate, a mild viscosity, reasonable fine carbonation, good enough for this brew. Smooth dark malts, a soft dark chocolate. The whiskey barrel imparts ripe fruity mellow whiskey, unfortunately it also deliveres that emulsion paint vibe that sometimes comes through from barrelling. The Port barrell is sadly very much the underdog here, some juice berry fruits but well buried. Smooth finish. Not far from a good brew but don't need the paint vibes and the Port barrel could be much more forward for me.

Can shared at the CBJ tasting, thanks to Kenneth, 12/06/24. Black with a khaki cap that veers edgewards. Nose is charr, roast malts, burnt toffee, molasses. Taste comprises chocolate, spice, candied orange peel, dark malts, roasted bite, modest barrel notes. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light rising boost. Not bad.

Can at home, 14th December 24. Pours thick and black. Aroma is complex, barrel, wet wood and liquor with chocolate and malts. Taste is complex, dry, liquor, barrel and wood, sweetness from the port,,but so well integrated and balanced the beer never rides too sweet, tempered by the whisky. Fabulous

Can split at L6 Tasting, picked up from HOTM online, 22/03/23. Black with a khaki cap that thins to the edge. Nose is chocolate, dark malts, spice, molasses, toffee. Taste comprises chocolate, roast malts, spice, mellow barrel, light smoke, dark fruit rinds, charr. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Not bad but needs more barrel.
