Also got a bottle from NobleSquirrel and another from BA. Pour is brown with an off white head. Aroma is caramel and earthy with some wood. Flavor is wood, bitter hops, caramel and booze. Nice body and easy to drink. I liked this, but may be better down the road. Tweety (343), Vancouver, Washington, USA

Huge thanks to Andrew for the end of this bottle, it was unbelievably delicious. With lots of sweet carmel/toffee/bourbon notes blending just beautifully with the malty sweetness of the underlying barleywine. neepsntatties (320), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 13, 2009 Thank you "hannont"! Colour... brown with a hint of red at the bottom of the glass. Nose... Bourbon, toffee, sweet malt, vanilla. Palate... dark brown sugar, molasses, more Bourbon, oak, plenty o’ vanilla, zante currants, raisins and a delightfully enveloping mouthfeel. dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA

Sharp-sweet aroma, of malt, dark fruits, brown sugar, wood, and herbs. Rich sweet taste, of malt, wood, molasses, sugar, bourbon, and alcohol. Big lingering sweetness. Very very nice. kegbear (268), Orange, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Bottle. Lots of vanilla, sweet fruits, oak, and bourbon. If it were a little less sweet it would be damn near perfect. JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium

Liquid oak in a glass, soaked in whiskey and coated in a thin layer of chocolate then encased in another layer of wood. Warming but not hot. Surprisingly smooth for such a ridiculous beer. tmoreau (570), Lombard, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 22, 2009 Sampler cup from Matt at Matt’s farewell and Bryan’s welcome party. Tapped a cloudy brown tone with not much head or lacing,... maybe a small, off white ring. The aroma was immediately cask wood and ultra bourbon,with a little vanilla. The flavor then added some sweetness of brown sugar, along with caramel and molasses. A couple of cups was more than enough to bring on the warmth. A potent brew! harrisoni (6776), Ashford, Kent, England
