We made this beer specifically for bourbon barrels. The result is our most acclaimed bourbon barrel beer. Bourbon barrel aging and specialty malts create flavors of vanilla and carmel that blend in perfect balance.

12oz bottle gifted by Pruf, thanks Chris. A good deal of alcohol on this beer but does not come of as spirit or barrel heat. A little thin on the palate. Sweet leafy earth candy otherwise. Low hop. Lots of lacing from the head.

Bottle. Raisin/dried cherry, caramel malt and alcohol aroma. Dark chestnut brown with small but long lasting light tan head. Very sweet vanilla, raisin, caramel, biscuit malt, and bourbon flavor. Nice balance and body. A bit on the sweet side but still very nice - will let the rest age for a while.

Caramel pour with minimal head. Toffee, maple syrup, vanilla, dark fruits in the lovely aroma. Full bodied. Delicious. Melted caramel, vanilla, oak, ripe fruit, sweet malt, and a bit of booze. The booze is mostly hidden and only accentuates the profile. Fantastic Scotch ale.

Bottle courtesy of Winter Santa 2014/2015. Thank you RobertDale! Pours deep dark wooden brown with a rather small creamy beige head that leaves some trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sweet and malty with caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, charred wood, roasted coconut, bourbon alcohol and moist soil. Taste is sweet, tiny bitter, malty and very tiny fruity with sweet dark bread, caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, raisin bran, charred wood, moist soil, prunes, caramelised almonds, roasted coconut, baked pears, bourbon alcohol and orange zest. Mouthfeel is soft, round, tiny viscous, slightly boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet and tiny bitter with caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, raisin bran, charred wood, baked pears, roasted coconut, hay and bourbon alcohol. The label says it was made for bourbon ageing and I agree. Basically a nice malt base and base beer with a huge barrel presence. What a nice decadent way to start off the new year!

Bottle from a trade. Thanks! Brown colour, minimal beige head. Medium carbonation. Aroma of caramel, vanilla, marzipan and lots of bourbon. Sweet with light bitterness. Malty body. Ok, but a bit too sweet.

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours a cloudy brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong booze, oak, vanilla. Medium mouthfeel with nice light booze and strong vanilla, oak, light roast, caramel. Very good.
