Beer Advent tasting: Claim 52 Voyager barrel aged American strong ale

375ml bottle, 9.6% abv

Pours orangey/gold with no head. A vigorous swirl brings a very light head that dissipates immediately.

Aroma is sweet caramel and some oaky vanilla.

Flavor is lightly sweet with big malt notes and some significant alcohol warmth.

Finishes surprisingly dry for how sweet/strong it tastes, but it's still a bit too sweet for me.

It's drinkable, but I'd keep this one in the cellar for a while to see if it dries out even more, if I hadn't opened it already.
