Pours an amber brown with a paperthin head. Aroma of malt, slight bourbon and oak. Taste is malty with bourbon and too much barrel. Not bad but not great.

Thin, bourbony, slight tartness. Doesn’t have a huge depth of maltiness for me but rather a thin caramally sort of maltiniess.

750ml bottle from ABC on Betton rd. Brown pour with a thin off-white that almost disappears completely. Aroma is bourbon, alcohol and dark fruit. Tastes are sweet malts, molasses, vanilla, caramel, light bourbon, little burnt, little leathery. Dry-ish bitter finish. Kind of strange oily thin palate with tingle of carbonation. Tough one to rate - it’s good, but kind of all over the place.

750ml bottle. Aroma of oak, vanilla, and caramel. This is very good for a shipyard brew. Very smooth with hints of oak, vanilla, plums, and dates. This is quite on the delicious side. Very nice!

Thanks for the share, Harold. Aroma is big bourbon, toffee, light molasses, dark fruits, and charred oak. The aroma was superb at first but it seemed like when the brew warmed up I got some less appealing one-sided veggie like aromas. Pour was dark brown/garnet hued in the glass. Taste is similar with a lightly hot taste of bourbon and vanilla, some smokey oak, cherries, currants, some dark fruits, burnt sugar, and toffee. Again, as it warmed up I seemed to enjoy this brew less and less. Not bad but the temperature really had quite an effect on either me or the way the beer came out. A cool beer nonetheless from Shipyard.

750ml Bottle
Appearance - Deep ruby red body, plush cotton head
Aroma - Smoke, wood, bourrrrbon, cherries, toffee
Taste - Molasses, honey, bourbon-soaked cherries, vanilla, alcohol
This beer has some potential; it is very flavorful, although malty as hell. The finish is hot but smooth as well, I’m guessing this one would age quite nicely.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Poured into a Stem-Less Burguny Glass.
Beautiful Bourbon Barrel Aged Barley Wine. Aromas of figs, bourbon-soaked dark cherries and raisins. Mouthfeel is full but not heavy. The sweetness of the alcohol is toned down by the bourbon and wood imparted from aging. Finish is long.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
The aroma is super sweet and malty with tons of bourbon barrel and vanilla. The appearance is brown with a small head. The taste is like the aroma with a bitter finish. The palate is smooth. Overall this is a great smelling beer with good character but a bad astringent aftertaste.
