Bottle. The first time i had this i thought wow this is the shit. But then i realized on a few less drunk occasions that its a beautiful explosion of flavors of sugary treats. Maple, chocolate, vanilla, cream, bourbon, smoke and spices. Good beer.

(Bottle, thanks to hopscotch) Pours beautiful deep red with some brownish hints and almost no head. The aroma is of sweet caramelly malt, buttery bourbon oak, citric/resiny hops and a sweet fruitiness. Undertones of smoke, earth, vanilla, mild spices, maple syrup and cucumber. The flavour is of buttery bourbon oak and sticky caramel/maple syrup up front with resiny orange-like hops. Undertones of dark fruits, earth and a light tannin bite. The mouthfeel is soft and sticky. Numbing hop and alcohol finish. Medium to heavily sweet and medium bitter. Medium to full bodied.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of pepsican. Pours a slightly hazy reddish amber with tiny floating impurities and a small, creamy yellowish head. Distinct sweet bourbon aroma. Medium-bodied with sweet caramel and fruit, a little spicy with the bourbon notes really shining through leading to a somewhat boozy finish. A little low in carbonation. Very pleasant. 220808

Bottle thanks to zathrus13. Wow, this stuff is good! Pours with a largish, brown head with hazey red tinged, deep brown body. Aromas of bourbon, vanilla, dark fruits, peet, and some toffee. Flavors of toffee, fruit, vanilla, oak, raisins, bourbon, and a lot of alcohol. As a whiskey drinker, this stuff is great, and the bourbon character reminds me alot of Goose Island IS and Kentucky Breakfast (and maybe BB Angels Share). Syrupy mouthfeel with light bubbles, Great stuff to sip on!
