750 ml bottle - thanks to BelgBeerGeek - pours deep amber with no head. Aroma of malt and thick bread... plums, raisins, and so on. Most balanced bourbon bruery beer so far.

Huge, boozy, mish-mash of flavors, fruits, cocoa, not the darkest beer. But somehow it works.

Bottle at a bottle share. Pours a very dark brown color. Nose has a huge amount of bourbon coming off it. Smells and tastes very much like a barley wine, with a smooth finish. Interesting.

Big Thanks to Dave for sharing this ! Pour a deep brownish umber with traces of copper on the edges, big foamy eggshell head. On the nose its sweet molasses, burnt chocolate, fig , date and even a touch of plum. The palate follows suit with a smooth velvety mouthfeel that ties all the flavors together with great balance... now this is how you blend beer ! Great complexity is added by the background bourbon and oak barrel notes. Vanilla, light warming spices no boozy heat in the finish... just more soft velvety flavor ! Beautiful beer !

750ml bottle.
Been wanting to try this one for some time. Deep amber brown pour with a bit of tan head. Nose is ridiculous - caramel, tons of vanilla, bourbon, dark fruit, chocolate, so complex! Slight sweetness, vanilla, lots of barrel flavor, brown sugar, toffee. Amazing.

On draught at Lucky Labrador Barleywine and Big Beer Festival. Toffee and chocolate aroma. Chocolate, prune, caramel, liquor flavors. Though the alcohol packs a punch, it finishes really well, with a sugarplum aftertaste.

Bottled. Pours dark ruby with a creamy beige head. The aroma is sweet bourbon, oak, wood, caramel and toffee. Lots of things going on. The flavor is sweet bourbon, chocolate, wood, vanilla and oak. Long sweet malty finish. To the sweet side but great!
