Bottled.
Charneol colour. Sweetish whiskey nose, with notes of honey. Clear whiskey tone in flavour, as well as caramel. Elegant body, I did not find it too light. Finishes with honey and somewhat woody.

Bottled.
Dark amber with a firm beige head.
Yes, it smells and tastes like it’s been aged at oak-barrels. A woody whisky-flavour with some sweetness.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep amber coloured. Woody vanilla aroma. Sweet and malty flavour with plenty of caramel. Sweet whisky and toffee aftertaste.

Light and mild with an distinct oaky under-tone and just enough sugar to enhance the flavors. But a beer like this could be a lot richer, it feels a bit thin.

Shiny dark golden, white head. Oaky aroma, dryish and somewhat whisky-like. Fruity flavor with whiskynotes, although mild. Some smoky notes in it.

quite nice for a gimmicky beer. oaky (duh), vanilla and caramel fudge flavour followed by a pleasantly tannic assam tea finish. quite nice, just doesn’t have much going for it apart from the oak ageing. if they oak-aged a beer that actually had some merits of its own it might be a better idea. prefer emersons whisky porter or olde suffolk for sure.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Ok, my bottle was obviusly quite skunky. Clear amber with a dense white head. Behind the metallic aromas I can pick up notes, of toffee,butter, oak, coconut and almonds. Burnt oaky flavours with notes of vanilla and toffee. Oaky and metallic finish.

The idea of this is actually to age some beer in casks which will subsequently be used to age a ’beer cask’ whisky expression. Aroma contains honey, vanilla cinnamon and (okay..) oak, but is predominantly malty. Over caramelly malt taste with thin mouthfeel. Not unpleasant and an unusual flavour, but I suspect it could be done much better with experimentation (sherry/port casks, casks which have had, rather than will have, whisky in them), rather than marketing to us a by-product of the whisky business.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Slightly hazed golden amber appearance, moderate head formation. Woody, fruity apple aroma. Lightly hopped fruity flavor, dry spice and woodiness. Starts out interetsing but just dies after a few sips.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light color,as in a whiskey and water.Oak-bourbon nose with a little vanilla maybe some sour notes.Flavor is what you expect with the oak vanilla but also a sourness that is almost a "What is that flavor? " thing going on.
