Pours amber from the bottle. The thin, frothy white head lingers. Aroma is dominated by oak with lesser notes of bourbon and lesser still of pumpkin. Taste is mildly bittersweet, full of rich oak and vanilla with a dash of spice. No real trace of pumpkin. Body is medium, texture a bit watery at times, warm at the end. Overall a nice one and a refreshing change to have a barrel aged brew with a relatively modest ABV.

Small dark beige head over near-black beer. Very vinous nose, with dark chocolate, wood, melanoidins, bit of lactic acid. Dark chocolate with dried (red) fruit. Roasted, fortified wine, chocolate, liquorice. Light sourishness, fruity. Again chocolate with red fruit - Sachertorte ohne Sahne? Medium bodied, quite slick; medium carbonation. The bottle calls itself stout. It's both - stout and sour. And good;

Poured a nearly pitch black color with a very small off-white head. Aroma was roasted malts, chocolate. Some light caramel malts, vanilla. Mild toasted finish with a very little bit of fruity notes. Decent.

Bottle from Boxbeers. Pours amber to golden brown with a moderate sized short lasting off-white head. Aroma of wood, sweet malt, citrus, sour berries and caramel. Light sweetness, heavy sourness, touch salty. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Tart fruit, slightly vinegar finish. Enjoyed this.
