Here’s to this beer. Been aging for a bit over two years now. Great caramel nose. Smells like a barleywine. It’s really starting to taste nice. Nothing sharp. Not bubbly

Phoe! Dik, vol, zoetig! Rammer hoor! Mooie bourbon erin en na 2 jaar op fles goed de rozijntjes en rood fruit te proeven.

Ibland måste man älska sig själv lite extra. Det är ju ändå torsdag.

Scotch ale is best beer with bourbon barrel aged. It just gets better. 2019 opened in 2021. AAA+

Malt.. check. Barrel.. check. Boozy AF? Yeah.. also, toffee and some raisin. It's ok, but I prefer full barleywine territory. This feels like a half commit. 3.85

Не дать не взять. Отличный вихэйви. Бочка в балансе, миндаль, карамели децл, заварной крем, изюм.

On the green in 2, 30 ft putt to 2 in ended with par. That’s after I opened this. A Christmas gift from Ryan! 😎 11% ABV. Caramely and roasty. I added the extra .25 because of the par!!🏌🏻‍♂️

Lekker op temperatuur laten komen. Wat is dit dan een plezante unit. Mooi zacht. Lekker volle smaak. Licht boozy. Zeker in prijs / kwaliteit verhouding een toppertje. Me like. En passant ff de ALS Awareness badge scoren 😜

Бурбон тонкой линией проходит в аромате и вкусе, чернослив на первой линии со сливочным винишем.

Напоминает очень хорошего выдержанного имперца. Сильный аромат солода, женного солода, бочки, темного кофе, карамели, орехов. Аромат сложный, максимально приятный. Во вкусе действительно доля виски от бочки, женного солода, карамели. Понравилось. 4.4

Næsten som et godt glas portvin. Varm og tung og med klare noter fra whiskeyen.

Nice surprise hiding in the back of fridge! This one was bottled on 21 October 2019. Heavy, boozy, dark stone fruits, caramel - chocolate deliciousness in my glass! Will have to grab another drink later for New Brew Thursday.

Первый где я реально ощутил историю саития с бочкой из под бурбона. Крепыш который требует неторопливости в употреблении

Sort of funky, diminishing as it breathes. Oaky and malty.

Better fresh. Flavors mellowed out too much over 18 mos. Still good, just not as good.

Деревяшка,солод, чуть дымка и всепоглощающий бурбон! Сладости практически не осталось , только немного сливочно-шоколадные нотки смягчают вкус.

Mycket rostad och fyllig. Rejäl kick av choklad och kaffe. En touch bourbon utan att vara för spritig. Väldigt väldigt bra. Håller samma klass som CBS, fast mörk ale.
