Bottled. An unclear brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and malt as well as light notes of bourgon. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel, as well as quite a lot of alcohol, that leaves a slight burn on the tongue, combined with light notes of bourbon, prunes, and wood.

Bottled. Thick clear pale brown. Madeira-like oaky nose. Sweet and fruity, perfumy and liqueur-like. Full bodied with thick mouthfeel. Hints of apples. or rather calvados. Complex flavours, even though the barrel flavours dominate. Unique.

(Bottle 18 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a cloudy, muddy light brown with a small, rough, off-white head dissipating in no time. Distinct, sweetish bourbon aroma. Very rich body, a bit flat with lots of sweetish caramel and then all the characteristic bourbon notes of oak and vanilla. This is almost like drinking a shot of bourbon - and I love bourbon! If all European strongs were like this it would be my favourite style... 280507

Golden-brown colour. Slight haze, no head and no visible carbonation. Big malty aroma with fruity notes...hey this strong and I’ll let it slide a bit. Fair bit of bourbon nose as well. Big. Just big. Soft body with hints of maple, oak, bourbon, and rich malts. Warming and smooth, if a bit hot in the finish.
