Draught Chestnut coloured beer with no head. Rummy nose, sweet malts abound. Superb Bourbon or Rum figures with sweet vanilla and strawberry flavours. Bit sticky MF, thick bodied. Great taste, but it does stick a bit!

On cask at O’brien’s as well. Rich deep malt colored. Nose and mouth is sweet and malt. Clear palate finish. Suprisingly drinkable and smooth. The richness of the bourbon is there, but not overpoweringly so. Light on bourbon. Nice.

Cask tonight at O’briens. Pours orange tan head. Nose is great sweet bourbonny sweet. Very nice. Taste is sweet light and decent, overall pretty tasty.
