Tap at Q-Brick. Pretty reddish-brown, no head. Nose is bourbon, grassy hops, caramel, vanilla. Aroma of a nice BA barley wine. Flavor is barrel, wood, whisky, very minerally. Comes off a bit watery. Thin palate, oily. Nice, but far from great. Doesn’t do it for me.

Minoh W-IPA barrel aged on cask 10% + the staff seemed unsure of the ABV (no one checked) aged in Heaven Hill barrels apparently. It is a cloudy ruddy amber with a filmy beige head. A warm woodsiness, soft whiskey & rich maltiness in the nose. A full rich creamy texture, an amazing mouthfeel. The taste is a rich bourbon milkshake, seriously fantastically creamy the taste is woody with a touch of green pine boughs. Deliciously warming. Very well made but best for bourbon lovers.
