Boiled for 1440 minutes. We used Proximity Pilsner malt and hopped with HBC 472 to mimic barrel characters. Notes of vanilla, bourbon and oak

Can pour at Tilton brewery, 7/5/25.
Clear, deep beige-dark-oak. Small, rich-butter-colored head showing moderate retention.
Saline and caramel notes abound with fresh yeast adding a big fruitiness. Seemingly good attenuation but some slight excess sugar remains. Not boozey, though.
Soft and sweet, though with a reasonable attenuation. Really lame that they didnt barrel age this, as it would have benefited greatly from it. As is, it's just a bit too sugary and monotonous. Becomes a big chore to drink after a few sips, even if it pretty well-constructed and not boozey.
