Nydelig! Fint avrundet etter noen år, passelig alkoholstikk. Karamell, malt og noe vanilje.

I picked this to end the night earlier in the day, kinda wishing this was something I drank earlier to build to a big BW perhaps but regardless here I am. It’s fine, just not a fantastic end of the night 🤷🏼‍♂️

Lätt söt arom av karamell och mörk choklad, lite maltighet finns där också. Maltig smak med lite mörk frukt och karamell. Inte så värst tung eller fyllig. Anar en hint av bourbonfat mot slutet.

The sweet spot. Mellowed beer but still carbonated. Pretty outstanding and boozy and scotch flavor.

Aged fairly well (drank in 2022). Light ale with a slightly boozy taste. Not sure on the spices, but there is a hint of unbalanced fruit in there.

Sad that this has declined so rapidly - some acrid, oxidized notes and the toffee sweetness has receded. Hoping this was bottle variation as I still have a handful of these in the cellar.

Mäktig pjäs med massor av tunga russin och dadlar ibotten och en fatkaraktär som lyfts med massor av burbon 😁🍻 Känns dock att den är på upphällningen
