COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Big and delicious for your ’perty mouth. Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts. A bit of earthy spice and a scintilla of dark cherries. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the palate.

Nose is caramel, figs, dates, dark sugars. Taste is fantastic: caramel, raidins, figs, muscovado sugars, toffee. Sublime! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Reddish brown with an off white head. Aroma is caramel sweet. Taste follows nose, but adds a bitter finish.

Nice dark red pour from the bottle. No head but chewy mouth feel. Deep Carmel/bourbon aroma and taste. Toffee sweet taste. Nice beer.

artmcd8 (640) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 19, 2013
On tap at Beermuda. Drank this after a BA Batch 9000 so in comparison I may be a bit skewed. Bourbon aroma with some dark fruits. A bit thin in the feel. No heat. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Welley_Alves (101) - Sao Paulo, BRAZIL - APR 18, 2013
Belíssima breja da Founders. Scotch/wood aged ale, com amadurecimento em barris de bourbon. Cor escura, tinto, com pouca formacao de espuma e surpreendente aroma de bourbon, amadeirado. No paladar, corpo rico, com sabor intenso de bourbon, madeira, bastante malte. Ainda, notas de frutas secas, ameixas, especiarias. Final longo, alcoólico, duradouro. Excelente breja! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

36cl, exclusive American brew, thx to kraddel!, complex Scotch, malty/woody and slightly smoked/alcoholic, yet not too heavy, balanced, hazy, nearly no head, good brew

Wow! On tap at meridian pint in DC. Aroma is burbon, alchohol, sweet cheeries and hops. Pours a dark ruby red. Palate is a sweet hoppy delicous fruitcake of a beer! Scotch and oak come through on rhe lingering palate. Fantastic Brew!

VT (796) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - APR 11, 2013
350 ml bottle from czar, also shared with albatross. Pours a ruby reddish brown with a nice beige head. Aroma is wood, vanilla and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet, caramel-toffee, vanilla, wood, brown sugar, more caramel. Very flavorful. Finish is mostly fruity (red and darker berries), with a touch of vanilla. Strangely enough, it is quite soft and...accessible! Medium body, mellow mouthfeel, very good!
