Brewery draught, 9/5/25.
Clear, copper-anber. Small, dark beige head.
Big oxidized port nose. Round, candyish, well-aged. Not too grapey. Light balancing toffee and caramel. No booze noted.
Woody as hell with a fresh oakiness belying the assumed old port barrels. Blackberry, currant, pepper and vanilla with great acidity and a soft, chewy, not quite syrupy body that isn't boozey or too sweet. Excellent barrel, richness, attenuation and not too okay despite the up front woodiness. Love how much barrel character there is. Not just some macro "barrel aged" in name only beer.
