POurs mid amber with very nice notes of caramel and light vanilla toast. The flavor shows the nice malt notes and it finishes with some decent brown sugar notes. Outstanding beer.

Cask at Volo Cask Day 2006. Bourbon barrel aged version. Pours a very still ruby-brown. Aroma has nice woody bourbon notes, with a bit of smoke. Full flavour of sweet malt, woody bourbon, a bit of vanilla and a mildly hopped finish. Strikes a very nice balance between the beer and bourbon notes, which can be rare with this barrel aged beers.

A strong ale, though not particularly in ABV, with good borbon aroma. Sudsy head. Woody, bourbon taste dominates. On cask at Bar Volo Cask Day 2006.

Veyr good taste, left it for the end of the session. VEry smoked. Reminds me a little Old Peculiar from an English Brewery although sweeter and less dark. Also good foam.
