Sÿx

Pours an orangeish-yellow with minimal head that quickly dissipates. The flavor is quite sweet, almost like a Scottish ale. The alcohol is quite apparent in the aroma, though not so much in the flavor. I hope this is a beer that will taste better with age--it’s not that great right now, sorry to say.

750 ml bottle generously shared by Dansting. The pour is a hazed orange golden, with a minimal off white head. The aroma is sweet yeast spice, almost Trippel nose, and additional wood spice, reminded me a bit of cedar wood. The taste is big bright sweet malt, then the fresh wood cedar notes, and a big hot boozy finish. I say cedar, but the wood taste is much more complex than simply cedar. The alcohol is decently well integrated, though jumps out in the finish. Really over the top, though I will say that the 15% abv was well controlled. Having said that, this beer was still pretty over the top for my tastes. Thanks for opening this one Dan.
