An unclear orange beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of bourbon as well as light light dusty hoppy notes. The flavor is very sweet with light notes of bourbon and wood, as well as a light alcohol burn.

(Bottle 75 cl) Unclear pilsener golden with a small, off-white head. Rather neutral aroma - mainly of alcohol. Full and markedly alcoholic body with the bourbon flavours slowly but splendidly unfolding warming your palate. This is almost zen! The finish is pure bourbon. Delicious. 270106

Bottled. Golden colour. Oaky wood aroma. Sweet and lightly yeasty. The mouthfeel is clean, some tripel character remains under the bourbon character that lingers onto the finish, where also some light op bitterness is detected. Nice, but the bourbon takes the edge of the complexity.

Slight woody note and mild spiced flavour following. Ends with a light wooden and spiced finish. Nice and dry.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruis, malts, hops and slight alcohol with some bourbon-oaky notes. Flavour is hops, malts, caramel, some slight alcohol and bourbon-barrells. Wellbalanced, and hides the alcohol quite well. Smooth and quite fullbodied.
