750mL bottle, courtesy of Miver. Thanks so much for sharing this, Joe! Pours a slightly hazy, golden color; thin white head with patchy lacing. Loads of intense bourbon, citrus, and charred oak; slightly rough along the edges, but very generous and toasty besides. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: loads of toasty bourbon, warming alcohol, citrus, and toasty malts upfront; again, slightly rough along the perimeter; very warming; generous, but also comes in as slightly vegetal and stalky; overall: bourboned and rough. Lengthy finish: warming bourbon, light citrus, and lasting toastiness. Really wanted to like this more than I did.

37.5 cL hand bottled, courtesy of Storm. Pours cloudy orange with a small and diminished white head. Mild spiced and honey herbal aroma. Spiced and dense yeasty phenolic. Dense alcoholic too. Ends spiced and phenolic. Too dominant on the phenolic notes for my liking.

Handbottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin biege head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of wood, lactic acid, and flowers. The flavor is sweet matly with notes of lactic acid and fruit. Thanks Storm for sharing.

(Hand bottle 37,5 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Hazy golden with a rough white head. Spicy bourbon aroma with some fruitiness. Surprisingly light-bodied with sweetish fruit and bourbon accents and a distinct alcoholic finish. 201008

Bottle. [Tasting @ Papsoe 20-10-2008] Average bubbly white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Light cloudy yellow color. Aroma of sweet spicy bourbon, mild honey or mead like, fruit, yeast, wood alcohol. Full bodied with an average carbonation light dry thick texture. Moderated sweet flavor. Lingering spicy alcoholic finish.

Lightly hazed gold colored body. Hugely sharp bourbon-vanilla nose, really difficult to get past, but it’s actually quite nice... some honey sweetness and candy sugar buried beneath this hugely sweet vanilla-scented bourbon nose, but it doesn’t turn me away. Flavor is pasty and yeast heavy, some sharpness as well, alcohol easily noticed, and it has the distinct flavor of Irish whiskey, of all things... when warmer there’s more vanilla, candy sugar and true bourbon integrated with this Irish whiskey note... nice overall, warming.
