12 oz can, from Hinda65, into Batch 19 Pint glass. BB : 4/10/20.
"Aged for 6 months in used Bourbon barrels, complimented nicely by sweet vanilla bourbon barrel notes"
Pours a nice dark brown-to-black with a creamy beige head of 2 fingers, receding to 1. No lacing.
On the nose I get some sweet butterscotch notes and slight vanilla with some slight oak tones as well. It's faint but pleasant. Agitation brings the oak forward.
Flavor is rather plain - mostly dusty pale and Cara malt. Some sawdust creeps in, and then there's this fleeting triad of toffee-butterscotch-vanilla, but then it's gone. Mild hints of alcohol/barrel sweetness. Faint fig on the back end. Has the illusion of complexity, but is actually very weak overall.
Feel is carbonated, slightly slick, wet, with nearly no alcohol presence, and a sticky/starchy finish.
Overall, not a stunner in the least, but I was in the mood for a scotch ale and this scratched the itch.
Would trade for again : no
