Started out rich and bourbon-y and malty (despite it overflowing desperately when I opened it). Strangely as it warmed it seemed to thin but was still a good time

2018 vintage tasting as good as ever. Lots of bourbon and vanilla and even better as it got to ambient temp. Hope Mcleods have some more of this hiding in barrels

Ben Briggs is drinking a Smugglers Bay Bourbon Barrel Aged Scotch Ale by McLeod's Brewery at Untappd at Home

Nailed it again. Wonderfully complex beer. And well-suited to a winter’s eve. Only reason not 5 star is, dare I say it, possibly a little too sweet.

A cheeky dark rich smooth beer. I was slightly out of sorts when tasting so can't score properly. My oldest had just phoned up and said he'd broken his arm ice skating. Good beer with dark vanilla biscuit notes but I'll try it again

Stuart MacDiarmid: Yeah. Whenever one of mine breaks an arm, I always have another beer. It genuinely seems to help. Me.

Garth: He's got another arm. It's not like he's run out. Stuart M. And the beer helped me no end

Stuart MacDiarmid: Cheers, Garth! I'm not unsympathetic. Just bullshitting, as usual!

Sam Smith is drinking a Smugglers Bay Bourbon Barrel Aged Scotch Ale by McLeod's Brewery at Untappd at Home

A very complex and interesting beer. The bourbon barrel really changes the scotch up a lot. Very smooth and vanilla notes round this off really nicely. Smugglers bay continues to deliver.
