Batch 464. Dark reddish brown, near black. Smell is spicy rye, some sweet bourbon. Soft mouthfeel, not too thick, pretty boozy. Taste is very well balanced. Plenty of bourbon, tons of rye, some oak, light caramel. Not a rye fan, but this is lovely!

Light brown colour with big fluffy head and low carbonation. Aroma and flavour are packed with vanilla and bourbon sweetness. The rye element adds an earthiness and depth. Very rich. Ultimately too sweet but still very pleasant.

Bottled 330ml (Beergium)
Dark brown colour, small off-white head. Sweetish toffee-vanilla nose. Light-bodied for this style. Lots of vanilla and fudge in the flavour, some dark fruits. Quite shallow, barrel has eaten the most the body.

Taster at home courtesy of Sander, big thanks. dark brown color, tiny tan head. smells bourbon, vanilla, marzipan, bit peppery, dried fruits, raisins, figs. nice to very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes of bourbon, light sweetness, vanilla, marzipan, peppery, dried fruits, raisins, figs. finishes light to medium sweet with notes of bourbon, marzipan and vanilla. very nice one, rather heavy, smooth bourbon notes. For the ABV you would expect something a bit more complex though. Bit too dominant on the barrel.
