Sep 6, 2006 Bottle. Pours an orange copper color with a small head. The aroma is like sweet whisky and the only thing different about the flavor is the strong taste of wood. Yuck. While drinking this I was very thankful it was a fairly light bodied beer... a heavier beer tasting like this and I wouldn’t be able to finish it. It’s drinkable... but barely. There are just so many better beers that anybody can get for cheaper, so I’m staying away from this from now on.

Sep 5, 2006 Bottle: Pours a transparent light copper orange, with mild effervescence leaving a clingy-lacing airy white head. Aroma of sweet toasty British caramel malt has a touch of oak and butterscotch. Body starts with a nice, light sugary sweetness revealing some soft woody mellow oak before a drier toasty finish. This could be more assertive, but still has a unique flavor and is very drinkable.

Sep 4, 2006 330ml bottle, 6.6% a/v
Pours a fiery orange colour with a slightly offwhite head. The smell is intensely citrus with notes of caramel and malt. Tastes malty with a whiskey hint from the barrel it is aged in. As brewgirlca said this beer could surely use more hops to balance the malt flavour. It is definetly a fine beer though!

Aug 31, 2006 333 ml bottle. As a long time lover of fine single malt I was really looking forward to this beer. Despite some reviewers saying this tastes of whisky it does not; it is bland and sweet completely lacking in oak, smoke, or malt complexity that one would expect in a barrel aged beer. While one would not want much hop character in a whisky barrel beer there needs to be hop bitterness to carry the malt - this beer lacks that. It is unbalanced. It is easy to drink but boring and if I was not told it was an oak aged beer I would not know it to be other than a sweet Newcastlle Brown.

Aug 22, 2006 Bottle 0,33l. Golden brown. A creamy lasting head leaving patterns on the glass. Some burntness in the aroma. A soft sweet flavour. You have a whisky feeling in the aftertaste. No bitterness. More peculiar than good.

Aug 22, 2006 (Bottle BB 30/05/07) Whisky-like, toffee-like and roasted malty aroma. Bronze colour, bright, only very slightly sparkling and average size, white, slightly lasting head with fair lacing. Malty, whisky-like sweet flavour. Softly carbonated and light to medium-bodied palate with a hint of alcohol. Rather thin beer even though a slight whisky-like taste is some what interesting. 11/07/06

Aug 18, 2006 bottle: Oh my god! What the hell are people talking about? This beer is disgusting!! Has everyone gone mad?
Pours an amber/whiskey colour with decent head and carbonation. Smells of oak (surprise) and whiskey. A very strong whiskey aftertaste. Trust me. Anyone who says no aftertaste or weak finnish is clearly mad. It tastes more like a scotch and water than a beer. If you like the taste of this, maybe you prefer scotch to beer (many do). If you like this vile excuse for a beer, save yourself some money and buy a big whopping bottle of Colt 45. It’s about the same quality without the pretentious packaging. Among the worst I have ever tasted.
