Pours a dark brown with a trace of off white top. Aroma is intense bourbon and a little malt. Taste has the bourbon up front with some oak dryness. I’m disappointed that I can’t really pick up the hop bitterness that is in the original. This is more of a malted beer that is bourbon aged.

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2012 Dark coloured with a good soapy head. Coconut and bitter aroma, vanilla. A significant bourbon in the taste, hoppy, but hops get overwhelmed by the bourbon, wood and butter. Big mouthfeel. Lacey. Drinkable but wierd and off because of the butter. Boozy as it warms and at the finish.Our shared bottle of the group.

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2012 Belle couleur brune avec un léger col de mousse. Nez puissant de noix de coco et vanille. Aucune amertume en bouche, le tout est plutot sirupeux avec un intense gout de vanille qui vient masquer toute autre saveur... Le tout ecoeure a la longue. J’adore la version reguliere, mais cette version vieillie en fut de chene est excessivement decevante.

Bottle - 600ml. Dark brown and cloudy body, with lighter rich neck. Well bodied, feels powerful yet alcohol doesn’t feel so present, masked by the oaken flavour. The complex blend of aromas of hops, malt, caramel, nuts and vanilla, blend gently and nicely with the with bourbon, oaky flavor. Finale is sweet, lightly bitter. Again, alcohol well hidden. Overall very enjoyable, highly recommended.

Bottle - 600ml. Hazy dark brown body with a thin beige foamy head. Rich, complex malty/hoppy aroma with bourbon, oaky, and vanilla hints. Alcohol is well hidden. Its strong taste carries vineous, caramel, and woody notes. Ends with a warming bittersweet finish. Excellent!
