pictoman (3080) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 22, 2021UPDATED: MAY 22, 2021 Poured from 650mL bottle (bottled December 2017). Dark brown with light beige head. Raisin, bourbon, vanilla, a little thin. Definitely overrated.

mcberko (34280) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 22, 2021UPDATED: MAY 22, 2021 650mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small tan head. Nose is full of dark dried fruits and oak barrels. Flavour is quite boozy, with intense bourbon, oak, booze, and dark dried fruits. That’s a lot of booze, without much of a body. This is way overrated—how is this 100-100 (at the time of rating)? Good but nothing more.
Rune (21325) - Tromso, NORWAY - JAN 19, 2020UPDATED: JAN 19, 2020 Big bottle kindly shared by Finn. Small sized beige head leaving dotted spots on the glass. Dark brown body with ruby, shades. Inviting smell of vanilla oak and chocolate. Similar taste profile of oak, vanilla and chocolate biscuit, warming bourbon towards a lingering finish, slightly roasted. Well bodied slow sipper. (Tromsø 18.01.2020).
Finn (14467) - Tromsø, NORWAY - JAN 19, 2020UPDATED: JAN 19, 2020 Delt med MrSoul og Rune. Svarrt. Middels høyt mokkafarget tett skum som daler sakte. Lett bourbonaroma. Smaken litt lakris - men whiskypreget dominerer. Etterhvert kommer det fram litt eik & vanilje. Tørr alkoholpreget avslutning.
rchung (46) - AUSTRALIA - NOV 7, 2019UPDATED: NOV 7, 2019 Coconut on the nose. Lots of flavors, mixing fruits, a touch of sourness with a fair punch of bitterness.
dougratesbeer (154) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - NOV 7, 2019UPDATED: NOV 7, 2019 Poured cola coloured with a beige foam. Aroma is mild soy and dried fruits. Taste is vanilla, toffee, coconut. Perfectly balanced - an exceptional beer.
Stuu666 (24521) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - OCT 27, 2019Bottle at Nick's. Pours deep ruby, nose is vanilla, coconut, roasted, chocolate, taste is similar, sweet, boozy.
Hop_Hedonist (1078) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - AUG 22, 2019UPDATED: AUG 24, 2019 Crikey this is huge - the aroma didn’t prepare me for the palate slamming, head banging explosion of flavour - almost too much... bourbon and coke on steroids. I admire it but struggled to get through half a bottle as it’s so big and boozy - luckily I shared the bottle. I guess the barley wine freaks will go for this big time.
BitterChalice25 (259) - - JUL 4, 2019UPDATED: JUL 7, 2019 Deep and complex aroma of raisin, coffee and oak. Taste is complex and rich, but not over powering.
