Here you have what could be the first malt liquor worthy of a glass. Typically a slighted style, we thought we would class it up with a stay in the wood and a healthy dose of dry-hopping. A huge hit of corn gives this one a smooth sweetness while its time spent aging in bourbon barrels will give you reason to share. Be warned: this one’s a pry-off, not a twist-off.

    Expensive 12oz bottle pours with a clear copper body that supports an off white head of foam. The aroma offers up malty boozy chemicals and thin spiced apple notes blended with some corn, lime like hops and bourbon booze. The taste let's me know quickly that it doesn't like me as it tosses an all out assault with chemical booze, spiced apple, a bourbon boozy barrel aged sensation and then sugary molasses infused booze. The more I drink the more this beet sucks. I get no creamed corn. That's wrong. Mess of a 'beer' this.

    When I had this beer fresh it was too hot with the alcohol - 14%. Really didn't like it. Had one today after being in the cellar for 3 years and it mellowed out to be quite good. Good clean taste of the malt liquor and the bourbon was nicely balanced. The bourbon smell was good each time I took a sip.

    355 ml bottle, 2017 release, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 14.2%. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate to small white head. Distinct aroma of bourbon, oak and vanilla. Medium sweet flavour, again with distinct notes of bourbon, oak and vanilla, moderate hops. Warming mouthfeel.
