UPDATED: JAN 9, 2022 Aromas of bourbon, cherry, vanilla and cocktail bitters. Some alcohol burn. Not bad, though somehow the combination doesn't work that well for me. Maybe I'm just old fashion - doesn't seem like beer.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2021 Pours a nice deep amber color with off white head. Bourbon, brown sugar, orange peel, and cherry aroma and taste. Well balanced flavor. Notes: bottle Dec ‘21

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2021 12oz bottle from Hops & Bottles. Dark, clear brown, small, soapy beige head. Aroma is orange peel, whiskey. Taste is sweet, strong, distinct orange peel, malty. Tasty, too.

UPDATED: DEC 21, 2021 Flaska. Klar mörkorangefärgad med ett medelstort beige skum. Dofter av apelsinmarmelad, vanilj, karamell och bourbon. Smakinslag av apelsinmarmelad, vanilj, karamell, läder, torkad frukt, körsbär och bourbon. Mot det söta hållet, liten beska. Oljig munkänsla.

UPDATED: DEC 20, 2021 355ml bottle brewed in Michigan at 11%. Clear crimson ruby with an ample, good-duration ivory head. Vivid orange peel and flesh aroma, almost as if someone started peeling an orange right next to you, with a hint of candied doughy malt sweetness lurking beneath. Modest carbonation, intriguing body combining stickiness with light drying sharpness. Initial refreshing citrus rind hits you, then deep cookie dough and chocolate maltiness develops for some Terry's Chocolate Orange vibes and then hints of juicy raisin and leafy wood start to appear. Powerful bourbon vanilla and caramel in the long aftertaste. Wonderfully rich and lengthy flavour profile, with perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the beer being how simultaneously richly flavoured yet light and moreish it is. Founders proves they still have the magic that made them famous.

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2021 Bottle. A mostly clear one, amber in color, with a nice-looking beige head. Some lacing. The aroma has lots of orange, with alcohol, oak, bourbon, hints of cherry and vanilla, with a generic spice touch. It's full-bodied and quite warming on the palate, with quite a lot of boozyness in the flavor. Orange, cherry notes, almond hints, oak and bourbon flavor with a good dash of brown sugar. Quite bitter. Lasting finish. Rather intense this one, but with lots of good flaves. Nice to share. 211219

Aroma: medium intensity aromas of orange, orange peel, hints of cherries, wood, toasted malts, bourbon, caramel malts, caramel, brown sugar, burnt caramel, burnt brown sugar.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2021 Color marrón claro, rojizo, turbia, casi opaca. Espuma marfil de más de un dedo de espesor y corta retención. Aroma intenso, caramelo, vainilla, miel, dátiles y uvas pasas, ligera barrica, whisky y notas cítricas, de piel de naranja y mermelada de naranja amarga, que se intensifican al atemperar hasta casi dominar el olfato. Sabor intenso, como en aroma pero más alcohólico y cítrico desde el primer trago, final largo de dulzor maltoso y azucarado elevado, posgusto alcohólico y ligeramente especiado, con un deje de raíz de regaliz. Textura casi oleosa. Carbonatación baja. Un gusto tremendo, equilibrada y reconfortante en días grises y fríos.

Sweet spiced fruity finish with lingering bourbon barrel. Slightly alcohol dense notes. Nice Winter Warmer.

UPDATED: DEC 13, 2021 Ampolla Hopt. Un altre curiosa i extrema ale de Founders. No deixa indiferent. Cervesa feta cocktail. Licorosa, punt brandy, taronja, vainilla, punt especiat... Molt bona
