Bottle shared with membership group (minus Clark--miss you buddy!). Maple syrup brown, light sparkle, nice viscosity, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is strong, mellow caramel, spicy rye, dark fruit (as it warms). Taste is strong, spicy rye, caramel, hint of dark fruit. Smooth, silky texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Great complexity and balance in aroma. Taste is slightly biased by the rye but still quite good.

500 ml bottle. # 184 /720. Aroma is mild Russell Reserve bourbon, caramel, burnt sugar. The medium body shows plenty of dark fruit, soft vanilla from oak, mild sweet caramel finish. This shows a bold caramel/ toffee malt character. Good but not as great as others in the stlye from this brewery.

Bottle shared with membership group (minus Clark--miss you buddy!). Very dark cola brown, light viscosity, thin head fading to a ring, no lacing. Aroma is strong earthy malt, caramel/toffee, rye. Taste follows aroma along with late tequila and hint of lime. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Approached this with trepidation as not the biggest fan of tequila but it is restrained and nice contribution to taste.

Bottle from Brew Export. Enticing aromas of bonfire toffee, sultanas, apple strudel, bourbon, nuts. Rich warming & soothing flavours of the above, some jammy dark fruits. Boozy sweet warming & exceedingly satisfying. Next level stuff.
