"Brewed with six malts of Belgian & British origin. Bourbon in color with a very complex and interesting malt profile. Matured in 9 & 10 year old bourbon barrels for 2-4 months. Bright aromas of bourbon, fresh baked bread, caramel, and oak. Velvety texture, rich malt and bourbon flavours with an enticingly warm bourbon finish. 10% alc/vol 40 IBU's"

Quick notes taken at a tasting

Pours thin and has a light brown coffee look. Small head.

smell is smooth Scotch like. nice malts and sweet bourbon with good smell of nuts.

Booze is present but smooth. has a subtle heat to it. A bit of coconut. Present sweetness.

Mouthful is thin but flavorful. Lingers and stays delicious. Has a nice warmth.

Very nice beer. Has potential to be better but good. Thin but sweet.

2011 vintage cellared properly and showing no signs of infection. Pours a dark amber color. Smells like bourbon, caramel, raisins. Taste is nuanced and deep. Unlike some of the more popular barrel aged beers this is refreshing. I drank half a bottle of this and didn't feel like I was hit by a truck unlike other beers I've experienced. Will this beer blow you away in terms of overpowering flavors, no. However there are so many levels of flavors making it a pleasure to drink over the course of a couple of hours.

2011 vintage. Thought only the 2012 was infected but after tasting this I think it is as well. Straight sour smell and taste. Pained me to do it but had to pour out.
