Thanks to crapturds (reddit) for this one, shared with rudzud.

Pours no head, murky mahogany brown color.

Nose is all bourbon, tons of sweet candy bourbon, some mild vanilla barrel and barrel juice, little sweet candy caramel notes, little brown malt note but little actual beer mostly just bourbon.

Taste brings more bourbon but watery malt bourbon, mild vanilla barrel and barrel juice, with little caramel and sweet candy, actually caramel candies. Little booze warmth, with fading bourbon and hints of brown sugar, mild phenols and very faint green apple skin. Finish is semi sweet, bit more barrel, hint of bourbon and caramel candy. No amber ale at all.

Mouth is med bod, feels a bit thin, mild warming booze, lighter carb.

Overall ok, but meh, mostly just bourbon barrel and sweeter malts with phenols, not a great beer but bourbon tastes nice.

Thanks to JLindros for sharing this bottle.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice clear darker hazelnut brown with a thin head that fades to leave light wisps.

S - Aromas of bourbon barrel galore, buttery oak and vanilla bourbon, super rich. Light brown sugar but for the most part this is a bourbon bomb.

T - Taste is like the nose, loads of bourbon, vanilla buttery oak, green apple skin, no hops at all or malts really. Phenols...kind of a mess of flavours.

M - Mouthfeel is a bit thin, lower carbonation.

O - Overall this wasn't my favourite Quaff Bros by any means. Like usual, great barrel notes but yeah that's about it.
