UPDATED: FEB 16, 2023 Draught (at either Taphouse or Mikkeller Bar, notes a bit unclear on that note). Hazy amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is alcohol, some glue, a bit caramel, bluecheesy and some figs and plum to it. Flavour is sweet malts, some bourbon, oak and vanilla with mild spices, some alcohol sweetness and mild nutty elements. As it warmed up a bit the bluecheesy tones also showed up in the flavour. Very nice.

Pours orange with a small head, aroma of toffee, wood, bourbon, flavor of alcohol, toffee, wood, bourbon, medium bodied

18.04.2014, tap @ Mikkeller Bar Stockholm:
Small creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is sweet fruity, mild sweet bourbon, grass, paper, caramel, worth, alcohol, almond cake, raisins, oak. Taste is sweet grassy, mild sweet bourbon, oak, grass, citrus peel, alcohol, sugar, almond cake, caramel, hay, paper. Medium bitterness, dry oaky mouthfeel. Nice.

Piana trochę rozczarowująca, nie wysoka, grubo i średnio pęcherzykowa ale za to trwała. Kolor ciemno pomarańczowy, nawet klarowne. Przy pierwszym kontakcie węchowym zaczyna się odlot. Piękny zapach, biszkopt, ciasto drożdżowe, miód, wanilia bardzo mocna. Generalnie słodko ale nie mdłe, bardzo beczkowe, przyjemne. Smak jeszcze lepszy. Jest słodkie i zarazem gorzkie. Bardziej sprawia wrażenie nalewki nie piwa. Bardzo grzeje w przełyk. Troszkę szczypie w język. Alkohol po ogrzaniu trochę wychodzi ale jak na 18% to i tak nie jest to mocne. I to w taki szlachetny, ogrzewający sposób. Jest też fajnie wyczuwalna beczka, głównie wanilia.

Wow, that is a strong beer. Pours a bright cloudy orange with a thin white head. Smells of apples and plum, and a bit of caramel. Taste is bourbon and whiskey and white wine right off the bat. More apples and plums, with some vanilla and caramel, and a smokiness in the finish. Sweet wine and whiskey in the aftertaste. Had on tap at Winchester Goose in Chico.
