Fantastic beer, you get the aroma and flavour of the oak casks first thing.
I love it.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottled. The colour is medium dark copper red; the large compact foam is beige, firm and stable with a small crater.
The smell is generous and complex, I found notes of honey, bitter hops, fruit candy drops, wheat flour, raisins, dried dates and even a touch of tulips.
The carbonation is mild and refreshing with lots of small bubbles.
The taste is full-bodied with a complex cask-matured whiskey feel. There are flavours of wood (cedar, oak and sandal wood), honey and some bitter hops. The taste is very balanced. The quite long aftertaste is somewhat dry and bitter with some smoky whisky-notes.
This is a very nice and a bit different ale of an excellent quality!

Aroma: vanilla, malt, spiritous with some oaky sherry smells. Appearance: amber orange, clear. A small head made of big bubbles. Flavour: seet, strong lightly tanin, coconut, vanilla and spiritous. Palate: lightly carbonated with some lingering hop bitterness. Overall: not so much enjoyable for me but very complex.

Amber-red in colour with a white head.
Aroma from burnt malt. Some wiskey and oak in taste. Sweet taste. Comes of a little dry.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled: Poured a nice amber/toffee colour with a big tightly packed head. Odd aroma - grassy, sappy wood, medicinal & malty. Flavours are big on malt, some toffee and an odd sweetness probably imparted by the oak aging. Has a very smooth medium body. An interesting beer, a premium bitter with a twist.

Cobber color, white head. Heavy sweet sour aroma. Eat a wood and you will taste this beer... Oak .. shit.. not good, it’s just to sharp.

Copper coloured with a thick head. Sweet-ish Whisky-aroma (Lord Calvert ?). Smooth Whisky and toffee-flavour.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden with a white and somewhat thin head. Whisky aroma, with pear and smoky notes. Flavor brings whisky as well, together with some smoky toyches. Grassy, malty and with a somewhat spicy finish.
