Once upon a time a friendly giant was imprisoned inside a rye whiskey barrel. For over a year he sat in silence and total darkness before finally falling asleep. In time the world forgot about him until one day, a brave bearded man discovered the giant and gave him a new home inside this bottle. Those who are timid should let sleeping giants lie. The valiant can uncork the bottle and awaken the Sleeping Giant

Gold color. Lightly sweet. Some yeast. Honey. And not much more happening. Good flavor if no complexity.

Bottle at Craigs, many thanks, almost clear deepish yellow color, aroma of honey, spice and a light shrubby hint and a whiff of vinegar, flavor, of honey with hints of roots and shrubs, very light bitterness. Good and enjoyable.

375ml bottle shared by DCLawyer, thanks! Poured a clear dark yellow color, mostly still. Honey comes through pretty strong in this one, boozy legs on it. Sweet, but dry enough to be enjoyable. Nice.
