Arcadia Bourbon Barrel Shipwreck Porter

Bottle, by trade with beachbum25, black color with tan foam, oily mouthfeel with predominant bourbon and coffee flavors, nice lasting finish

Dark brown beer with a tan head, a nice alcohol and hop aroma. Can easily pick out the whiskey/bourbon flavor. but its not too overwhelming. Some vanilla in there. Alcohol and whiskey finish. Leaves some very nice lacing.

22 oz. bottle - thanks after4ever; clear, dark brown with faint white head; rich and quite boozy; oaky, vanilla and roasty, though much of the porter has been covered by the bourbon; kind of blah as the bourbon leaves an overly thin texture

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Very dark brown, coarse beige head. Oaky vanilla aroma. Oaky vanilla flavour. Sweet and medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Oaky vanilla finish. Well, one nice flavour does not equal a good beer. What seems so promising at first is a one way street.

Bottle thanks to Daknole! Has all the aspects of a damn good porter, but a little too overdone on the bourbon for my tastes. I’m sure I would like the regular, non bourbon aged version much better.

Very dark brown almost black with a tan head. Aroma is fruity and sweet. Flavor is quite nice with a smoky, chocolate, woody, and whiskey in there. Nice and dry. Very good.

Bottle with thanks to Dave. Pours a dark brown with a fairly large tan head and fruity, fruity aromas. Plums, prunes,raisins, red wine... And a little bit of brandy. Given that, the flavor is little surprise. It’s almost like a port mixed with a bit of chocolate and a nip of moonshine. There was a bit of smoke/peat on the first sip, but it didn’t ever return.

From bottle. Black in colour with a great frothy tan head. Chocolate aroma, a little musky with hint of damp wood and whisky. Smooth texture, strong chocolate influence with coffee beans helping with the bitterness. Almost like and alcoholic milkshake or a Baileys. Pretty tasty porter, however close to a Oatmeal stout of some sort. Lovely.
