Bottle poured a murky brown with a very thin tan head that dissapated quickly and minimal lacing. Aroma is raisin, butterscotch, bourbon, and wood. Taste begins with a wave of rum raisin flavor followed by vanilla, bourbon, and toffee. Smooth finish with slight booziness and flavors lingering. Great sipping ale.

Pours deep brown and murky. Head lingers, but is not thick. Nose is deep with chocolate, oak, bourbon and toffee. Taste is bold and sweet while a yeasty sweet bread tastes linger. Truly a unique and flavorful beer.

From bottle. Pours murky brown with little head and lots of clinging. Aroma is alcohol, toffee, raisins and flan. Taste is super sweet with notes of raisins, toffee and brown sugar. If you had Fruet, this is very similar and equally tasty.

Poured from 750 ml bottle. Pours dark brown with almost no head. Nose is tons of caramel, toffee and some alcohol. Taste is loads of brown sugar and carmelized sugar. Very sweet that is just a bit too hot. This is going to be really good in a a year as it ages.

Congrats with 500 ratings E! Glad to get this one taste together. Very dark brown beer with a small head, maybe could be some bigger. Very sweet, maybe just over the top, and a bit complex beer. Lovely how the wood and booze gets slightly trough but don’t kick in to hard. Some vanilla and caramel gets trough and gives this the sweet kick at the start, but you get used to that kick.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy brown with medium beige head that lasts awhile. The aroma is dark fruits, vanilla, and oak. Thin mouthfeel with sweet malt and vanilla flavor with light booze in the finish. Hides alcohol well, really enjoyed this one.

Pours dark brownish red with a white head that fades to a ring. Aroma is bourbon, figs, dried fruits, vanilla, and oak. Taste is exquisite with oak, vanilla, bourbon, brown sugar, dates, cinnamon, and toffee sweetness. The alcohol is well hidden. Really delicious.

Medium hazy brown with a quickly dying foam. Love the aroma! Golden Graham cereal, brown sugar, bourbon, caramel, and heavy cream. Full and warm from the alcohol. Oak and bourbon flavors are rich with molasses, toffee, and dark fruits. Finish is deliciously sweet and fruity. Loved every version of this.
