Hazy pale yellow colour with big foaming head. It's got a soft, malty background. Gentle floral hop. Mild but pleasant. Somewhat under carbonated.

Bottle from La Mise en Bière, carried by mon chou
(some details got lost) The base Doppelbock seems to be quite rich; the bourbon barrel is really present, which is distracting for this beer. But it's a good one overall.

0.33l bottle many thanks to Lore. Clean orange body with a thin white head. Bold bourbon and orange zest with notes of burnt sugar, nutmeg and some vanilla. It also shows some acidic apple notes. Taste of caramel, bourbon, nutmeg, hint of chocolate and a tuch of cloves. Much smoother than what I'd expect from the aroma. Long lasting sweet finish with some lingering booze, but nothing harsh. I like this beer a lot. Thanks Lore!

Poured from 330mL bottle (bb 2024/11). Clear-ish copper brown with small off-white head. Woody, touch of sourness, okay.

330ml @ Phill's. Appearance: hazy copper with a tan head. Aroma: weird bourbon barrel notes like wood with some acidity. Some caramel. Taste: along the same lines, creamy notes from oak are more noticeable than in aroma. Overall: better than their BBA Doppelbock, but it doesn't really deliver as North American BBA beers.

330ml @ Phill's. Appearance: dark copper with a beige head. Aroma: very weird barrel, somewhat chemical, artificial with apples notes and dark fruits. Taste: roasted malts, bourbon, weird wood, some malty notes. Overall: despite the taste being a bit better than the aroma, it's pretty much a meh beer.

330mL bottle, pours clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is loaded with big bourbon barrels, toasted nuts, and some dark fruits. Flavour is boozy and kind of thin and acidic, with toasted nuts, red fruits, and some bourbon barrels. Rather thin-bodied, but the bourbon character has a nice dimension to it. A bit messy and lacking cohesion, but it's pleasant.
