This was only the third time this beer has been brewed as DDC brews it every fifth anniversary only and slightly differently each time. This XV version presents a pretty hot bourbon nose with some caramel malts and hints of milk chocolate. The flavour, howeverm is dominated by smoked malts and some peaty-ness. Both sweetly warm and richly smoky alongside just traces of the wood, this full-bodied brew finishes with a decent lingering resiny hops, but of fainter remains than the smoke, and a light-moderate carbonation. Very good and of diverse hybridity
